Commenting on the agreements, the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said:

I congratulate Prime Minister Vucic, Prime Minister Mustafa and High Representative Mogherini on their hard work and perseverance in securing these agreements.

I urge both Serbia and Kosovo to maintain this positive momentum. Completing the implementation of all their agreements will be an important step towards normalising relations between the two countries and increasing regional stability and security.

I also encourage both leaders to maintain the commitment necessary for both countries to continue on their respective EU paths and towards a stable and prosperous future for all their citizens.
