The intractable nature of a decade-long dispute in the Balkans is forcing lawmakers to consider solutions that the international community has long shunned.
Serbia is quietly pushing for a territory swap with Kosovo, and it appears that the proposal hasn’t been ruled out entirely.

This redrawing of borders could pave the way for Serbia to recognize Kosovo’s independence, which would get both countries a little closer to their goal of joining the European Union.
