Brussels, Aug 27 (AFP\/APP): Serbia and Kosovo have agreed on an arrangement for free movement between their countries, the European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell announced Saturday.<\/p>\n
Serbia had agreed to abolish its entry-exit document for Kosovo ID holders, and Kosovo had agreed to not introduce them for Serbian ID holders, said Borrell, in a video statement posted online.<\/p>\n
“Kosovo Serbs, as well as all other citizens, will be able to travel freely between Kosovo and Serbia using their ID cards,” he added.<\/p>\n
The agreement came after talks in Brussels earlier this week between Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, chaired by Borrell.<\/p>\n
“I am very happy that we have found a European solution that facilitates travel between Kosovo and Serbia,” said Borrell, thanking both leaders. <\/p>\n
The Brussels meeting was called to try to defuse antagonism between the Balkan neighbours that had led to violent incidents in northern Kosovo in recent weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
