Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of diplomatic tensions between Kosovo and Serbia; and whether they would support a membership application from Kosovo to join the EU.

​We are concerned by the tensions between Kosovo and Serbia and are urging both countries to avoid any escalation and re-commit to the EU-facilitated Dialogue. Normalising relations between Serbia and Kosovo is crucial for the security, stability and prosperity of both countries and the wider region. We support the EU-facilitated Dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo with a view to a comprehensive and sustainable solution that enjoys popular support in both countries.

We continue to support all countries committed to the EU accession process in meeting the necessary requirements.
