How much would you personally pay for Kosovo to join EU? 🇽🇰

🇽🇰 Kosovo's Serb Minister and ally of PM Albin Kurti, Nenad Rasic, says the government is now more willing to establish the Community (Association) of Serb-majority Municipalities, following the victory of Student List.

According to Rasic:
- Kosovo should temporarily set aside the issue of recognition from Serbia and focus on implementing existing agreements (including ASM)
- Establishing the ASM is an international obligation that cannot be avoided.
- ASM would have no executive powers, and Serbian parallel institutions would be dissolved and integrated into Kosovo's legal system.
