Brief/ Beyond License Plates and Crisis Management: Options for the EU for a Final Agreement on Kosovo and Serbia by Pol Bargués, Assem Dandashly, Hylke Dijkstra, Gergana Noutcheva

With the failed meetings in Brussels, the EU seems to loose its leverage on the Kosovo-Serbia dispute. In this JOINT Brief, Pol Bargués (Research Fellow at the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs – CIDOB), Assem Dandashly, Hylke Dijkstra and Gergana Noutcheva (Professors at Maastricht University) discuss how this meeting made clear that the EU’s approach to the Kosovo-Serbia conflict no longer suffices.

The EU should become more consistent by moving without delay on Kosovar visa liberalisation and considering a positive agenda for Serbia.
