The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Olta Xhaçka, welcomed the decision of the Kosovo Government to suspend temporarily the implementation of reciprocity regarding the Kosovo-Serbia border crossing.

Minister Xhaçka emphasized that Kosovo has every right to exercise its sovereignty over every square centimeter of its territory.

“All the actors involved in the destabilizing acts of the last 24 hours must be held accountable for their criminal acts. We stand by Kosovo and call on all our partners and allies to speak with one voice, against the growing rhetoric and threats of violence against Kosovo”, said the Albanian chief diplomat.

The Government of Kosovo has postponed the decision to equip Serbian citizens with Kosovo documents and license plates in the territory of Kosovo to September 1, 2022.
