Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic declared that the agreement signed in Brussels on license plates was a major achievement from the Serbian side.

“I think we have reached some sort of compromise solution, for which I am happy about and I think that it is important for our side. The return of KFOR in compliance with Resolution 1244 is important and shows that it is possible to give guarantees for Serbs”, said Vucic during a press conference from Nis.

He also added that the previous regime will remain in force, meaning using stickers on top of the plates, instead of removing them at the border.

“The regime remains the same as it has been so far as far as central Serbia is concerned”, added Vucic.

In the agreement reached on Thursday, Kosovo and Serbia agreed on the following points:

• Special police units currently removed at Jarinje and Brnjak checkpoints will be removed simultaneously with the roadblocks starting on 2 October 2021 at 8 AM and finishing no later than 4 PM. KFOR will deploy at Jarinje and Brnjak before the beginning of the simultaneous removal and will remain for approximately two weeks to maintain a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement.
• As of 4 October 2021, at 8 AM, the sticker regime as agreed in the framework of the EU-facilitated Dialogue will be applied as a temporary measure until a permanent solution is agreed.
• A working group consisting of the representatives of the EU, Belgrade, and Pristina parties, and chaired by the EU will be established to find a permanent solution to the license plate issue based on EU standards and practices.
