The European Union Special Representative in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, said that a “new situation” had been created in Kosovo-Serbia relations that has changed the “plans and topics” of his visit to Kosovo and Serbia.

This, after the Government of Kosovo, on June 29, approved the decision on the possibilities of re-registration of vehicles with license plates issued by the Serbian authorities with license plates RKS (Republic of Kosovo).

The Government of Kosovo also approved the instruction for crossing the border points with personal documents, according to which, all persons who have documents issued by the Serbian authorities, upon entering the territory of Kosovo, will have to be provided with a certificate that replaces those documents.

Citizens of Kosovo, for years, receive a certificate that replaces their personal documents when entering the territory of Serbia.

Official Belgrade reacted harshly to the decisions of the Government of Kosovo, saying that Prime Minister Albin Kurti “is threatening the Serbs in Kosovo with war”.

Lajcak told reporters in Belgrade that “this situation must be resolved.”

“We must not allow any crisis to happen,” he said.

In a Twitter post, he wrote that he had held “long talks” with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade on Wednesday, and stressed the importance of finding a solution through negotiations.
