The European Union has welcomed Serbia’s decision to officially recognize the license plates of the Republic of Kosova (RKS).

According to the spokesperson of the EU, Peter Stano, in a reaction on the social network, it is possible to achieve progress in the process of normalizing relations between Kosova and Serbia.

Stano writes that the EU welcomes Serbia’s decision to formally recognize the Kosova issued RKS license plates, while adding that it is a positive step in the implementation of the Agreement on the Path to Normalization, as well as the past dialogue commitments related to Freedom of Movement.

“This decision also constitutes a step in the right direction towards a better regional and European integration of the Western Balkans, which ultimately benefits the citizens of the region,” Stano underlined.

On December 25, the government of Serbia confirmed the decision to recognize the license plates marked RKS. It concerns an agreement which was reached in 2011 during the dialogue between the parties.

According to Peter Stano, this decision paves the way for the complete removal of the sticker regime. The European Union, Stano adds, now expects Kosova to act in the same way.
