Edita Tahiri, Kosovo’s Minister without portfolio engaged in the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade in Brussels, told Radio Free Europe today that due to the administrative delays, Kosovo authorities did not manage to start with the implementation of the agreement for full reciprocity on the license plates between Kosovo and Serbia and remove the so-called “proba” license plates which were implemented unilaterally by the Serbian party since 2011. According to her, today is the due date for implementation of the agreement. “It did not start yet. The reason for this is the short time to complete the administrative procedure for the production of these stickers, which means that the tender procedures should be undertaken by the Ministry of Internal Affairs,” Tahiri said.

Pristina and Belgrade, with the mediation of the European Union, reached in September in Brussels the agreement for full reciprocity for the license plates between Kosovo and Serbia. Both sides agreed to cover relevant parts of the respective licence plates with stickers. This agreement will contribute on facilitation of the free movement of the citizens and vehicles.
