Since June 2023, the European Union has imposed active punitive measures on Kosovo in response to a string of tensions and escalations that took place in the Serb-majority north of the country.
The measures include the temporary suspension of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA), a pre-accession trade agreement signed with Pristina, and limits on Kosovo officials attending meetings with EU officials in Brussels and the suspension of EU funding and the freezing of projects.
