Brussels hides content of the legally binding agreement with Kosovo (Vecernje Novosti)
Nobody in the EU currently knows how the famous legally binding agreement between "Serbia and Kosovo" will look like. Head of the Serbian negotiating team in the process of EU integration Tanja Miscevic says: “Neither the EU, nor Belgrade so far defined what would be the end of the dialogue.
