Serbia accepted an EU proposal to stop issuing licence plates for Serbs living in northern Kosovo but Kosovo did not agree to halt the process of re-registration existing licence plates, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told media after meeting Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti in Brussels.
Borrell said after the meetings that, “after many hours of discussion, the two parties did not agree to a solution today”, and added that, “there is an important responsibility for the failure of the talks today and for any escalation and violence that may take over on the ground on the following days”.
“For the sake of transparency I have to say we put forward a proposal that could have avoided this risky situation, which President Vucic accepted today, but Prime Minister Kurti did not”, Borrell said.
Since there was no agreement, Borrell said, he called on both Serbia and Kosovo to implement what was proposed.
“First, I now expect Kosovo to immediately suspend further stages related to the re-registration of vehicles in north Kosovo and Serbia to suspend issuing new licences plates with Kosovo cities’ denomination, including KM plates,” Borrell said.
He added that he will inform EU member states “about the behaviour of the different parties and lack of respect for international legal obligations and I have to say this goes particularly for Kosovo.
“If European Union accession is their [Serbia, Kosovo] ultimate objective … we expect them to act accordingly with that,” Borrell said. Serbia’s Vucic told the media after the meeting that “the Serbian side was completely constructive.. but the Albanian side did not want to accept anything for a single second.
“We have sleepless nights and many difficult days ahead of us, but we will listen to the advice and request of the High Representative; he asked that they [Kosovo] not apply fines [to users of Serbian license plates] and that we do not issue new KM plates, which we said is fine, so we will respect that and act accordingly,” Vucic said.
Kurti, however, told media that the EU proposal “is not acceptable if it is not accompanied by what we were invited [to discuss], meaning an agreement to urgently engage for a final agreement of full normalization of relations” between Kosovo and Serbia.
“In the proposal provided by Borrell and Lajcak there was a deadline on March 2023″ for a final agreement, Kurti told the media, accusing Borrell of “giving up on the March 2023 deadline and on the proposal of the European Union for the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia”.
Expressing readiness to continue talks for such a final mutual agreement, Kurti told the media that “we cannot be irresponsible and not treat the current issues – but we also cannot transform into state leaders who deal only with license plates issues and do not discuss normalization of relations”.
“That is why we are in this situation now and I hope the European Union will find the strength to back its own proposal for the normalization of relations,” Kurti added.
Kosovo Police announced on Sunday that fining owners of vehicles with license plates issued by Serbia that Kosovo considers illegal would start on Tuesday, November 22, instead of on Monday, as per a late October government decision.
BIRN asked the Kosovo Interior Ministry whether this decision will be implemented starting from Tuesday after the failure to reach an agreement in Brussels, but received no response by the time of publication.
The British ambassador to Kosovo, Nicholas Abbott, described the lack of an agreement as disappointing.
“The current situation poses risks to the safety and livelihoods of ordinary people in Kosovo and distracts from the government’s mission to improve their lives,” Abbott wrote on Facebook after the meeting in Brussels, urging all parties “to avoid action that could lead to an escalation in tension or cause threats to security”.
The dispute about licence plates triggered mass resignations of Kosovo Serbs from institutions in Serb-majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo at the beginning of November.

The country’s authorities were repeatedly urged by the EU to quickly scale up their actions to address the grave humanitarian situation in Una-Sana Canton and provide basic and secure living conditions to all the persons of concern still sleeping out in the cold in extreme conditions.
High Representative Borrell reminded President Dodik of the EU’s full commitment to supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina, having provided financial support of more than €88 million, and – among other assistance – fully equipping the Bira Reception Centre, which is left unused. He called on the BiH authorities to work on sustainable solutions, notably with the opening of centres more evenly distributed across the full territory of the country.
Josep Borrell stressed that failing to do so would have severe consequences for the reputation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The EU counts on those in office in the country to take full responsibility, urgent action and do what it takes to provide immediate assistance and work on longer term solutions.
EU's Borrell Says Bosnia 'More Worrying Than Ever' After Croats' Election Threat.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell expressed alarm on February 20 over "centrifugal trends" in Bosnia-Herzegovina one day after Bosnian Croat nationalists threatened to scupper upcoming elections and form their own region in the troubled Balkan state.
Borrell warned fellow leaders at the Munich Security Conference that the situation was extremely disquieting in the former Yugoslav republic, which is already divided into a Bosniak and Croat federation and a Serb-dominated entity called Republika Srpska.
"The situation in Bosnia is more worrying than ever," Borrell said, "It has never been easy, but the centrifugal trends now are really very worrying."
Bosnian state authorities and the international community are already grappling with runaway secessionism led by one of the leaders of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik.
There are also increasing pressures to find a solution to Croat complaints -- in some cases supported by international legal verdicts -- that Bosnia's ethnically based divisions established in 1995 are discriminatory and must be scrapped.
National elections scheduled for October add to the urgency of efforts, including by U.S. and EU officials, to seek compromises that will allow the voting to go ahead without more of the boycotts that have paralyzed some institutions for years.
On February 19, the body that represents many Bosnian Croat political parties threatened to begin working toward creating their own region in Bosnia unless election laws are changed to boost their representation on a national level.
The Croatian National Parliament (HNS), led by the biggest ethnic Croat party, the HDZ, said at an extraordinary session that a failure to reach agreement on electoral changes would signal a lack of conditions for a vote.
Two elections in a row have seen the election of a Croat from a multiethnic party voted into the tripartite presidency's seat reserved for Croats, heightening groups like the HDZ's frustrations.
HDZ leader Dragan Covic said on February 19 that talks begun last year with Bosniak leaders on palatable election-law reform should resume this week, but he warned that no deal could spell an election boycott.
Many outsiders regard the current crisis as the worst in Bosnia's 26-year history since the Dayton Agreements ended bloodshed between Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats and imposed an ethnically based government structure with UN support.
On February 21, Bosnian Serb leader Dodik accused "the American and Brussels administrations" of favoring Bosnia's Muslim majority, the Bosniaks, in a way that "destabilizes [Bosnia] in the long run."
Dodik, who has led Republika Srpska allies to declare intentions to set up their own military, regulatory, and prosecutorial institutions to challenge statewide ones, said he didn't see anything controversial in the Croatian National Parliament's threats.
Borrell appealed to the "responsibility of the political leaders in Bosnia to prevent the country from breaking up," urging them rather to carry out necessary constitutional and electoral reforms.
"We will not accept a breaking-up and the disintegration of Bosnia," Borrell said in Munich.
He said EU foreign ministers will discuss the Bosnian dilemma at their Foreign Affairs Council meeting on February 21.
The Foreign Affairs Council reaffirmed the European Union's "unequivocal commitment to the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and unity" of Bosnia in October.
