1 year has passed since the signing of the Washington agreement for economic normalization between Kosovo and Serbia.
PIPS has evaluated and analyzed the implementation of 5 key points from this agreement as follows:
(1) designation of Hezbollah as a whole as a terrorist organization
(2) participation in Mini-Schengen (Open Balkans)
(3) compliance with the moratorium which suspended Kosovo's applications for membership in international organizations
(4) mutual recognition and the establishment of diplomatic relations with Israel for Kosovo, namely the relocation of the Embassy in Jerusalem for Serbia; and
(5) working with other countries to promote the decriminalization of homosexuality
Kosovo has met 4 of these points, while Serbia only 2 of them.
This publication clarifies the political context and the actions taken by both parties to realize these points.
