Borrell expects "other positive steps" from Kosovo

The head of diplomacy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, has welcomed the agreement between the European bloc and Kosovo for the first steps towards the expansion of the situation in the north of Kosovo.

"We expect that Kosovo will take other positive steps and continue progress in this direction," Borrell wrote on Twitter, adding that the work with the parties will continue in the framework of the dialogue for the normalization of relations.

On July 10, Kosovo and the EU reached agreement on the first steps towards enlargement. However, they were made public the day after.

Tensions in northern Kosovo rose in late May, after local Serbs opposed the new Albanian mayors in the north, who entered municipal buildings under the escort of the Kosovo Police.

The Serbs are demanding the complete withdrawal of the special units of the Kosovo Police and the new mayors.

The international factor has asked Kosovo and Serbia to reduce tensions and Pristina to organize new elections. Even earlier, Kosovo has not expressed against holding elections in the municipalities in the north - inhabited by a majority of Serbs - but state officials have requested that they be prepared so that there is no boycott.

The last elections in the north, those in April when the new Albanian presidents were elected, were boycotted by the Serbian parties and population./ REL
