Serbia has agreed a landmark accord with Kosovo to normalise relations between the two countries.

The accord, brokered by the EU, comes after months of intense discussions between the Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic and Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci.

"The negotiations have concluded. The text has been initialled by both prime ministers," said EU diplomat, Catherine Ashton.

Belgrade does not recognise Kosovo’s independence, however in order to be considered for EU membership, it must normalise relations with neighbouring countries.
