Commitment: Full implementation of past agreements with Pristina and refraining from unilateral moves According to the 2025 European Commission Report on Serbia,“overall, Serbia and Kosovo have participated in the Dialogue, but they need to demonstrate more serious and constructive commitment to advance the normalisation process”. Moving forward, they also need to make“further substantial efforts to avoid actions that undermine stability and rhetoric that is not conducive to dialogue and reconciliation”. The document also assesses that“domestic political preoccupations on both sides have hindered decisive steps towards implementing the 2023 Agreement on the Path to Normalisation and its implementation annex and thereby progressing on normalising their relations”. Serbia has not delivered on sanctioning the persons responsible for the 2023 Banjska attack. There has been(very) limited progress in this area, but key issues remain unaddressed. Commitment: Further aligning visa regime and reintroducing visas for four countries Serbia reinstated visa requirements for nationals of Kuwait, Mongolia, Oman and Qatar in December 2024, thus fulfilling this specific commitment(which is also a step in Serbia’s Reform Agenda for the implementation of the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans). However, according to the European Commission’s November 2025 Report,“Serbia’s visa policy is still only partially in line with the EU list of visa-required third countries”, with an emphasis on a potential security risk from nationals of Russia gaining Serbian citizenship. The specific commitment has been completed.
