US Ambassador to Kosovo Jeffrey Hovenier welcomed European Union (EU) envoy Miroslav Lajcak’s statement that Kosovo has accepted in principle the EU proposal for a Serbia-Kosovo solution, adding that both Kosovo and Serbia will have significant benefits from the agreement.

“The United States is encouraged by and welcomes the decision by Kosovo also to accept the EU Proposal in principle, and we will continue to provide our full support to the EU-facilitated Dialogue. The interim agreement will bring significant benefits to both Kosovo and Serbia,” Hovenier wrote on Twitter.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti wrote on Twitter on Monday that “Kosovo accepts the EU proposal for normalization of relations between Kosova and Serbia.”

Following talks with EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, Kurti said he believes that the European proposal is “a good basis for further discussion and a solid platform for moving forward,” and added that certain questions regarding the proposal will be addressed during the Brussels talks ahead.



“Certain questions on international guarantees, implementation mechanisms and time sequencing will be addressed soon during the Brussels talks ahead. Democratic concepts of European orientation make us hopeful,” Kurti tweeted.

He added there was need to advance the dialogue process “toward a legally binding agreement for full normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia, centered on mutual recognition.”
