"The European Union is closely following the treatment of national minorities by the Serbian authorities, especially the Albanian community in the Presheva Valley," said the European Union Commissioner, Marta Kos, in a letter sent to the only Albanian deputy in the Parliament of Serbia, Shaip Kamberi.

Kos reiterated in the letter that the rights of national minorities are an important part of the commitments that Serbia must fulfill in the framework of its EU accession process. She added that Serbia is required to harmonize its legal framework for minority rights with international and European standards.

"Within the framework of chapter 23 of the accession negotiations, Serbia is obliged to implement its legal framework for the rights of persons belonging to minorities in accordance with international and European standards," the letter states.

One of the main issues is that of the passivation of addresses, which has affected thousands of Albanians in the south of Serbia.

Kos has confirmed that this has also been included in the EC's annual enlargement reports, while the EU will continue to hold the Serbian authorities accountable for how residency status checks are carried out.

"On the specific issue of 'passivation' of addresses, we have emphasized in our 2024 enlargement report for Serbia the need for the authorities to better explain to the public how verification of residence status is being carried out, and whether the south of Serbia is particularly targeted," Koss said, among other things.
