Brussels Agreement (2013)
The Brussels Agreement ( / "Briselski sporazum", ), formally the First Agreement of Principles Governing the Normalisation of Relations, was a multilateral treaty proposed to normalize relations between the governments of Serbia and Kosovo. The agreement was negotiated and concluded in Brussels under the auspices of the European Union and signed on 19 April 2013. Negotiations were led by Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dačić and Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi and mediated by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton. The government of Serbia does not recognize Kosovo as a sovereign state but began normalizing relations with the government of Kosovo nonetheless, in accordance with the Brussels Agreement.
