The Serbian list welcomed the agreement reached in Brussels, which confirmed that KM plates remain in use, that no one will take them away, nor will fines be issued to citizens who own vehicles with KM plates issued in Serbia.
In a statement, Srpska lista informed citizens of Serbian nationality in Kosovo that all owners of vehicles with KM plates will be able to function normally and that, when their existing registration expires, they will be able to extend the validity of their KM registration as before.
"Therefore, all owners of vehicles with KM plates will be able to freely use and extend the registration for vehicles with KM plates", pointed out the Serbian List, whose position "has always been" that KM plates must remain, that citizens' property should not be confiscated, that no fines are issued, nor is their freedom of movement prevented.
Agreement on license plates was reached last night in Brussels after a full day of talks.
"We have an agreement!", wrote on Twitter the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell. "It is with great pleasure that I can announce that the main negotiators of Kosovo and Serbia, with the mediation of the EU, have agreed on measures to avoid further escalation and to fully concentrate on the proposal for the normalization of their relations", and that in the coming days they will invite the negotiators of Belgrade and Pristina to discuss the next steps" - the formation of the Union of Serbian Municipalities, the return of Serbs to Kosovo's institutions and the extraordinary communal elections in four municipalities with a Serbian majority scheduled for December 18.
