But this will be the objective of a working group that we\u2019ll establish soon and start working from October 21. We agreed on all points\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Bislimi explained that the Serbian side had asked not to cover the license plates of Kosovo\u2019s Serbs with the acronym KM, which stands for Kosovo\u2019s Mitrovica. But these plates are deemed illegal by Prishtina.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We cannot accept an agreement where the illegal owners of the license plates are being favored\u2019, stressed Bislimi.<\/p>\n<p>Serbia doesn\u2019t recognize Kosovo as an independent state, as a result, it doesn\u2019t recognize the acronym RKS (Republic of Kosovo) on its official plates. In 2011, Prishtina and Belgrade agreed that vehicles from Kosovo would place temporary license plates when crossing to Serbia, while Kosovo saw to hide Serbian plates with a sticker.<\/p>\n<p>After being revised in 2016, the agreement was supposed to terminate this September 15. After this date, the government of Kosovo applied reciprocity, which meant that vehicles with Serbian plates would have to place temporary plates when entering Kosovo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kosovo and Serbia found common ground on the license plates disputes, but a final agreement has not been reached, yet.
