What We're Tracking Serbian and Kosovar leaders set to meet. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti will meet Feb. 27 in Brussels, where they are expected to formally accept an EU-sponsored Franco-German proposal for the normalization of their bilateral relationship. Once accepted, the plan will bind both parties to continue normalization talks until a comprehensive agreement is reached, after which the two countries could be considered for EU membership. Under the plan, Pristina will have to create an association of semiautonomous Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo, while Belgrade will not be required formally to recognize Kosovar independence, but will have to de facto do so by ceasing to obstruct Kosovar membership in international organizations. Moreover, both countries will be required to open representative offices in each other's capitals.
