Summary/Abstract: One year after signing of the Brussels agreement which marked the first steps toward normalization of Kosovo-Serbia relations, north of Kosovo is still in the state of interregnum. Institutions of Republic of Serbia, which existed until that moment as “parallel” have gradually began the process of integration into Kosovo legal, political and social system. This process has not been deprived of obstacles. Serbia’s decision to support the dissolution of its institutions and to mobilize Serbs to participate in local election in Kosovo has created political cleavages in the North followed by the fear among the local population because of vagueness of the agreement itself and uncertainties that it bringsabout. The entire dialogue process which resulted with the agreement and its implementation was not transparent enough and did not involve a substantial participation of local communities in the north of Kosovo.
