🇷🇸🇽🇰⚡️ - An agreement has been signed between Serbia and "Kosovo", facilitated by the EU. Serbia, while not formally recognizing the independence of Kosovo and Metohija, will recognize "Kosovar" license plates and passports - an act seen as de facto recognition by many in Belgrade.
In exchange, Priština will recognize the Serbian Orthodox Church and will allow ethnic Serbs in the province to form an "Association of Serb Municipalities" - an autonomous region with similar powers to Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, or Quebec.

🇷🇸🇽🇰 - The agreement also stipulated that Serbia and "Kosovo" will work towards a "normalization of relations" - a euphemism for recognizing the independence of the province.
While some Telegram channels will, no doubt, denounce this as a betrayal, it is important to look at the advantages this brings Serbia; it has managed to secure a degree of safety for Kosovo Serbs without firing a shot, something Vučić's predecessors couldn't do in 20 years.
