Serbia to Swap Territories with Kosovo, Unblock UN Membership

Serbian authorities are seriously considering an unblocking of Kosovo’s membership in the EU in return of an exchange of territories between Serbia and Kosovo, according to Serbian sources quoted by Bulgarian National Radio.

The Serbian side would offer to Kosovo its southern PreSevo Valley, mostly populated by ethnic Albanians, in exchange of Northern Kosovo, populated by an ethic Serb majority.

In return Serbia would lift its freezing of Kosovo’s UN membership, which is a stepping-stone to Kosovo’s full recognition as a sovereign state.
