Borrell said on Twitter that Serbia has agreed to abolish entry-exit papers for holders of Kosovo documents, and that Kosovo has agreed not to introduce such documents for those who have Serbian identity cards.
"We have a deal.
Under the EU-facilitated Dialogue, Serbia agreed to abolish entry/exit documents for Kosovo ID holders and Kosovo agreed to not introduce them for Serbian ID holders".
He added that "Kosovo Serbs, as well as all other citizens, will be able to travel freely between Kosovo & Serbia using their ID cards. The EU just received guarantees from PM Kurti to this end".
"I am very happy that we found a European solution that facilitates travel between Kosovo and Serbia. This is in the interest of all citizens of Kosovo and Serbia. I would like to thank both leaders for making it happen, in particular President Vučić, who showed responsibility and leadership today.
The last few days have also been an example of excellent practical EU-US cooperation and I would like to thank our American partners for their support to the EU-facilitated Dialogue. And I would also like to thank EU Special Representative Miroslav Lajčák for this excellent work he has done", Borrell concluded.

🤣🤣🤣 console yourself however you can and want Sj but just know that as of yesterday Serbia has recognized Kosova. If you recognize a document that says the Republic of Kosova in it then by any logic or interpretation you HAVE recognized that country. Deal with it!
(Just saying…, 28 August 2022 17:14)
When is Belgrade opening an embassy in Pristina then?????
(sj, 29 August 2022 06:24)
Serbia recognized that Kosova isn’t part of Serbia. Good job Mr.Kurti!
(Demi, 28 August 2022 08:54)
You had better read the Brussels Agreement first before jumping for joy. Serbia has offered autonomy and with that comes a few things such as ID cards. What your supreme goat herder has not told you is that ALL Kosovo ID has to be registered in Belgrade before anyone can travel through Serbia ha,ha,ha.
I can tell you the exact year that Serbia will recognise Kosova and that is 3500.

They've reached millions of agreements up to now and Albanians don't abide by any of them. So what's one more to be broken?

August 27, 2022 - Serbia has recognized Kosova by accepting documents of the Republic of Kosova regardless of how Vucic tries to package this in front of Serbia.

I’m sure Serbs will not treat Albanian schoolchildren travelling on buses through Serbia like the Albanians do to Serbian children, let’s hope there’s no reciprocity by stoning them.

Happy days! Reciprocity principle should be the foundations for any unsolved issues between Kosovo and Serbia under EU auspices.
(EA, 28 August 2022 01:08)
They throw the Albos a bone and they declare its a New York cut steak. this has always been in the offering since its part of the Brussels Agreement. The supreme goat herder wanted something completely different, but all he got was an extra case of super black hair dye for his troubles.

Another very important step to full normalization and mutual recognition between two European countries who only yesterday were on the verge of fighting another conflict and which had the very potential of igniting a wider conflict in all of Europe !
Again, Bravo !!!

@ EAJ - Nyet! That would imply that this abortion project called "kosovaaaa" is a "real country". It's not...therefore it can't be treated as such.
More than half of the world including 5 EU countries, China, Russia, etc don't recognize albanian theft of Srb territory!
The tide has turned....the world is done with this "western" hegemony and bullying. USA, along with the EU, will soon learn to play by the REAL International Rules..... one being UN Resolution 1244!
