The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, is holding a meeting in Brussels with the Prime Minister of Kosova, Albin Kurti.

Borrell will also meet separately with the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, and then a joint meeting is expected.

“The focus of the emergency meeting will be to find a way out of the current crisis and avoid further escalations and tensions on the ground, with an emphasis on license plates and the return of Kosova Serbs to Kosova institutions. There will be a statement to the media from the High Representative at the end of the meeting”, the EU announced a day ago regarding the high-level meeting within the Kosova-Serbia dialogue.

The head of EU diplomacy himself, Josep Borrell, through a post on Twitter said that the time has come to move towards the normalization of relations between Kosova and Serbia.

“We need to get over the situation, stop going from permanent crisis management and instead start moving towards normalizing relations,” Borrell wrote on Twitter.

Today’s meetings are held one day before the entry into force of the decision of the Government of Kosova to fine the drivers of vehicles with illegal license plates issued by Serbia.

The authorities in Kosovo have announced that from November 22 they will start issuing fines of 150 Euro for drivers in the north who have cars with license plates issued by Serbia, which Kosova considers illegal.

Serbs in the north of Kosovo, where they constitute the majority, have warned that they will oppose the imposition of fines, just as they have opposed the entire Government’s decision on license plates./KosovaPress/
