NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg will meet with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, as well as with the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti on August 17, 2021. 

The Secretary General and the President will hold a joint press conference at NATO headquarters after meeting with Vucic. The press conference will be held at 15:30. 

On the same date, on August 17, Stoltenberg will host a meeting with Kurti. After the meeting, both will give a joint press conference. It is learned that the conference will be held at 17:00. 

So, we remind you that on August 18, Kurti and Vucic will meet the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, in Brussels. The latter said that the meeting will discuss the way forward between Pristina and Belgrade. The meetings will be held after tensions in the north of Kosovo due to reciprocity for license plates. 

The situation in the north of Kosovo escalated when groups of local Serbs set up barricades in the streets and attacked the Kosovo police, after the decision of the Kosovo government to impose reciprocity with Serbia on travel documents and Serbian car license plates on August 1. 

The situation calmed down after the government of Kosovo decided on the same day to postpone for a month the decision on reciprocity, at the request of the USA.
