Leaders of Kosovo and Serbia have agreed to restart dialogue about a range of disputes between the two countries, but failed to reach any concrete conclusions during an EU-backed Western Balkans summit in Berlin on April 29.

According to the German government, Serbia and Kosovo will move forward with implementing existing agreements, with both sides pledging to play a constructive role during future talks. Bilateral negotiations broke down last November when Kosovo’s government imposed a 100 per cent tariff on all Serbian import goods after Serbia blocked its neighbour’s bid to join Interpol.

Key topics which remain unsolved include Serbia’s non-recognition of Kosovo, the controversial proposal of a possible land swap deal and the de-facto trade war between the two countries.
