Belgrade and Pristina agree to implement EU plan

Leaders of Serbia and Kosovo have agreed on a harmonized plan to implement the recent Brussels-led agreement, the EU foreign police chief announced.

The EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, said the prime ministers of Kosovo and Serbia on Wednesday agreed a fixed text on implementing the recent EU-brokered deal.

Hashim Thaci and Ivica Dacic “will be in touch with me by the end of the week,” Ashton added.

The agreement, which Kosovo and Serbia struck on April 19, is intended to normalise relations between the two sides and thus boost both sides’ progress towards the EU.
