Summary/Abstract: The problem of license plates issued to Kosovo Serbs became the main reason for the escalation of tensions between Belgrade and Pristina in summer 2022. Due to the threat of a regional conflict, international institutions, including EU diplomacy, became involved in mediation between both sides. The international peacekeeping troops stationed in Kosovo also contributed to stabilizing the situation. The reason for the dispute between the Serbian and Kosovo authorities is the question of which license plates Kosovo Serbs could use in their vehicles. The article describes the causes of the problem resulting from historical conditions and international decisions on the status of Kosovo. It also presents the threats resulting from the lack of mutually satisfactory regulations on this issue, and discusses the attempts made in the past to seek solutions to this problem.
