Only the first phase of the process that should lead to Serbia and Kosovo signing the long-announced legally binding agreement should be completed by the end of the year, reports the daily Danas citing statements of US, European Union (EU), Kosovo and Serbian representatives involved in the process.

This phase can be called the normalization of relations phase, which is particularly insisted on by the representatives of the US, but also of Germany and France.

The daily also carries EU Special Representative Miroslav Lajcak’s statement that the EU and the US will not focus much on the two sides’ dialogue next year, because election years await them, and that, since it is the very beginning of the year, it would be good if they all came together at the end of the year to say that a good job had been done.
