European Commission approved today the text of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) between the European Union and Kosovo. The issue will now go to the European Council and once it gets the approval of all 28 member states, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, will sign the agreement on behalf of the EU. Sources said the agreement doesn’t require signing by all member states and this avoids possible problems that could arise from the fact that five EU countries have not recognised independence of Kosovo. The agreement also makes it clear that the EU remains neutral to Kosovo status and that it does not prejudge in any way the positions of the member states. According to EU officials, the signing of the agreement is expected to take place in June and it will come into force next year. In Kosovo, SAA will have to be ratified by the Assembly.
