Legal and Political Contradictions in Kosovo: Limits of the Brussels Agreement

Andrej Semenov

SAGE Open, 2022, vol. 12, issue 4, 21582440221143307

Abstract: The present tensions in Belgrade-Pristina relations highlight the relevance of consensus regarding the question of Kosovo. This article argues that unilateral decisions produce anti-debates by introducing the thesis that Kosovo is a unique case and impose various legal dilemmas that engender discrepancies between legal documents and practice. Drawing from the indisputable achievements of the EU, the article argues that there is a “silent†consensus among the actors (Kosovo, Kosovo Serbs, and Serbia) on the status of Kosovo as a European protectorate.
