Deal on Unifying Kosovo Justice System Takes Effect (Balkan Insight)
The EU confirmed that on Tuesday the Kosovo-Serbia agreement on unifying the justice system in Kosovo is due to come into force.
Maja Kocijancic, the spokesperson for EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini, told BIRN on Monday that a landmark agreement between Serbia and Kosovo, unifying the justice system in Kosovo, will come into force on Tuesday.
“As agreed between the Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo on 31 August 2017 in the framework of the EU facilitated Dialogue, the agreement on justice is expected to enter into force tomorrow,” Kocijancic said.
“All the steps have been completed for the integration of the Kosovo Serb judicial personnel into the Kosovo judiciary and both sides have met their obligations,” she added.
The agreement on integrating the justice system in the Serb-run north of Kosovo with the system in Kosovo generally was signed between Kosovo and Serbia on February 10, 2015 in Brussels.
