The government of Serbia has approved a plan to improve relations with Kosovo in line with the April 19 agreement.
Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic immediately informed EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton about the move, according to RIA Novosti.
The implementation of the agreement is vital for the start of the talks on Serbia’s accession to the European Union.
Kosovo and Serbia signed a groundbreaking accord to normalize relations on April 19.
During an EU-chaired meeting in Brussels on May 22, Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic and his Kosovo counterpart, Hashim Thaci, reached a preliminary agreement on a plan laying out actions and deadlines to implement this accord.
The plan, however, required a final approval from the governments of Serbia and Kosovo.
