Kosovo’s recent actions against and closure of Serbia-supported structures, conducted in the midst of the election campaign for the 9 February parliamentary elections, go against its obligations towards the European Union under the normalisation process. EULEX is monitoring the conduct of these recent actions in accordance with its mandate.  

The status of Serbia-supported structures is foreseen to be resolved through the EU-facilitated Dialogue.  

Kosovo must demonstrate and remain consistent with its obligations under the EU-facilitated Dialogue and its recent recommitment to it.  

While, as stated in the 2024 Council conclusions on enlargement, the EU will gradually lift the measures vis-à-vis Kosovo in parallel with further steps by Kosovo to de-escalate the tensions in the north, these actions are not conducive to this goal.
