The Future of Interaction between Prishtina and Belgrade
The Future of Interaction between Prishtina and Belgrade

Summary/Abstract: The article is based on a policy paper written for the Kosovo think tank “Democracy for Development” on the negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo. It analyses the agreements reached between the two parties in the multiple rounds of dialogue between March 2011 and the change of government in Serbia during the summer of 2012. While substantial agreements were reached, their implementation has failed and both parties have used the agreements to bolster their own views. As a result, more emphasis needs to be put not just on reaching agreements between Serbia and Kosovo, but also on ensuring implementation and matching expectations. Next, the dialogue needs to outline the more sensitive issues and be more explicitly political and high-level. In addition, Kosovo Serbs need to be included into the dialogue as to avoid agreements being made against their will or without their participation.
