Today expires the deadline for Kosovo and Serbia to reach a final agreement on the license plates of Serbian and Kosovar vehicles entering and leaving the borders of the two countries.

The European Union’s special envoy for dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, on April 20 urged that it was up to the chief negotiators of Kosovo and Serbia to reach “an agreement to move forward” on the issue of license plates, when they meet on April 21.

He said through a post on Twitter that the experts of Kosovo and Serbia on April 20 held the last meeting of the working groups in Brussels.

“With their work, they have prepared the discussions of the chief negotiators, which will be held tomorrow. “Now, it is up to the chief negotiators to reach an agreement to move forward,” Lajcak wrote on Twitter.

A meeting of the chief negotiators of Kosovo and Serbia, Besnik Bislimi and Petar Petkovic, is expected on Thursday (April 21st).

Meanwhile, a day before the deadline, Miroslav Lajcak stayed in Belgrade, where he met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

Lajcak from Belgrade said that the EU expects the parties to implement all agreements reached in the dialogue.

On September 30 last year in Brussels an interim agreement was reached regarding the license plates, provided that a final agreement was reached within six months.

With the interim agreement, Kosovo and Serbia have agreed that the vehicles of the two countries, while circulating in each other’s territories, will cover the state symbols on the license plates with white sticky papers.
