UNMIK is concerned about the closure of Serbia-run institutions in northern Kosovo, including the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund and the Republic Health Insurance Fund.

Additionally, many in non-majority communities, including Kosovo Serbs, continue to face challenges in obtaining Kosovo identification documents and valid residency permits, which may impede their ability to register their vehicles and receive license plates.

Actions in these matters, carried out without consultation or prior notice to the affected communities, negatively impact their daily lives and socioeconomic rights, hinder their integration and restrict access to healthcare and other essential services.

UNMIK reiterates its calls for all outstanding issues to be addressed constructively through the EU-facilitated Dialogue.
