posted: The Serbs agreed to allow Kosovo to take part in west Balkan regional meetings despite refusing to recognise its self-declared independence. An EU proposal to have Kosovo's nameplate at meetings followed by an asterisk was accepted. This will have a footnote explaining the territory's disputed status. The two sides also agreed to manage jointly their border, scene of recurrent violence between Nato peacekeepers and ethnic Serbs who make up the majority in northern Kosovo.
The footnote agreed will refer to a UN Security Council resolution that makes no mention of Kosovo's independence, and a ruling by the International Court of Justice saying Kosovo's declaration of independence is legal.
A Kosovan request to include in the footnote its own declaration of independence was rejected by Serbia.
Details of the border agreement were not immediately clear.
