membership, Serbia should to resolve a key challenge – regulate the political status of Kosovo.
The European Union signaled Serbia’s urgent need to work out this issue before it will complete

normalization of Serbia-Kosovo relations reducing the risk of renewed conflict and the second
allowed a more lasting stability for the security in the Western Balkans.
The aim of this article is to indicate the position of Serbian, and Kosovo Albanian
regarding the dispute over the political status of Kosovo, as well as the presentation of the
process of normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo as a key mechanism for
regulating the dispute. There will be identified strategic challenges emerging as a result of
measures taken to tackle this problem. These may have a significant impact on the further
dynamics of the process of Serbia's integration with the European Union.
