Serbia considers Kosovo to be its territory

Serbia considers Kosovo, which unilaterally declared its independence in 2008, to be its territory.

Serbia and Kosovo, which come into conflict periodically, are trying to find a common way to normalize relations, and eventually to recognition between the two countries, within the scope of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue process, which began in 2011 under the mediation of the European Union. ???

The European Union announced that the new meeting of the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo will be held on March 18 in Ohrid, North Macedonia.
