Kosovo dialogue: Still no agreement on registration plates

Kosovo dialogue: Still no agreement on registration plates

Earlier in the day, Office head Marko Djuric told reporters in Brussels there was no agreement on registration plates.

Under a 2011 agreement made by the then Serbian government, Serbian registration plates should be non-existent in Kosovo and Metohija, he said.

"We are now fighting to prevent the scrapping of our plates, as well as to enable citizens who are using KS plates to have this five-year period extended as it is now expiring," Djuric said.

Later on Friday, European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said that no final agreement on vehicle registration plates had been reached in the technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.

The EU confirmed that registration plates - which are a part of an agreement on free movement - had been discussed on September 8 in the current round of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, but that there was no deal as yet.

No final agreement has been reached, and it will take constructive efforts by both sides to reach one, Kocijancic said.

The third day of discussions between the Belgrade and Pristina delegations began in the European External Action Service headquarters in Brussels on Friday.
