This brief discusses the challenges facing the EU-facilitated dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo on establishing stable relations, which will resume in February 2015. The author also provides recommendations for both countries on what they need to do to further negotiations. These include 1) improving the way the dialogue is managed by including members of civil society; 2) setting new standards of transparency and practice better consultation and reporting; and 3) addressing concerns about the potential effect an agreement could have on people's lives.
