What Happened Ten years after Kosovo unilaterally seceded from Serbia, the two countries are still far from reaching an agreement to normalize their relations. In recent days, however, an old idea has re-emerged: a mutual exchange of territory to make both countries more ethnically homogeneous. On Aug. 6, Kosovar President Hashim Thaci said "border adjustments" between Kosovo and Serbia could foster better relations. One day later, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic echoed Thaci's sentiments, saying a compromise between the two countries involving territorial swaps was possible. While neither Thaci nor Dacic gave details on their respective proposals — and in an Aug. 8 press conference, Thaci clarified that he was not advocating for the partition of Kosovo — a potential exchange would likely involve two main territories: North Kosovo and the Presevo Valley.
