Speaking today the Minister for Europe said:

“I welcome the agreement for the OSCE to facilitate voting by Serbia’s dual nationals living in Kosovo in Serbian Parliamentary and Presidential elections. This is a further example of both parties’ readiness to show flexibility and courage, and to work in support of their citizens’ interests. I remain concerned about the recent rise in tensions in Kosovo and therefore urge all parties to ensure voting can take place in a secure and stable environment.”
