Brussels, 22/09/2014 (Agence Europe) - EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton has welcomed the agreement, reached through EU mediation, signed last week by the power transmission companies KOSTT of Kosovo and EMS of Serbia. “Through this agreement between the Transmission System Operators energy relations between Pristina and Belgrade will be normalised, and KOSTT can play its role of managing the high-voltage networks in Kosovo”, Ashton stated in a press release on Friday 19 September. The two sides also approved the action plan to implement relations on energy, reached by the two prime ministers last year in the dialogue for normalisation of relations between Serbia and Kosovo. “These steps are crucial for the implementation of Energy Arrangements; we expect they will promote a stable and secure power supply that all citizens deserve”, said Ashton. Serbia and Kosovo are both members of the Energy Community which seeks to integrate the countries of south-east Europe and other countries neighbouring the EU into the internal energy market. (EH)
