Summary/Abstract: Serbia has recently signed the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with the European Union. A single clause of this Agreement – Article 135 Paragraph 2, which pertains to Kosovo and Metohia – stirred up the intense discussions, both in terms of policy and legal expertise. Consequently, it seems natural for Serbia to consider the option of making a reservation or an interpretative declaration with respect to that clause. This paper pays much more attention to the reservations than it does to the interpretative declarations, honoring the comparative complexity of the international law rules pertaining to interpretative declarations, and the fact that the rules on reservations form a conceptual basis for the rules on interpretative declarations.
