“We welcome that in the wake of reaching agreement on the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia in Brussels on February 27, 2023, within the framework of the European Union roadmap, the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia agreed on the implementation annex of the said agreement on March 18, 2023 in Ohrid,” Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a press release.

The Ministry expressed Ankara’s expectation that the parties will fully comply with the provisions of the said agreement and achieve concrete results in the coming period.

“Our country has been contributing to the process, especially to the issue of electricity distribution. Our President recently had separate meetings with both Serbian President Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Kurti. As Türkiye, we will continue to support all initiatives aimed at normalizing relations between Kosovo and Serbia,” the Ministry added.

The Agreement on the path to normalization between Kosovo and Serbia is an agreement mediated by the European Union that aims to normalize diplomatic relations between the Republic of Kosovo[a] and the Republic of Serbia.

On February 27, it was accepted by Kosovar prime minister Albin Kurti and Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić and a plan for its implementation was agreed on March 18. (ILKHA)
