Kosovo and Serbia have signed a series of agreements in key areas, in a major step towards normalising ties.
Serbs in northern Kosovo will enjoy greater rights through one of the deals, while Kosovo gains its own international dialling code in another.
"This is a big achievement for the whole of Serbia and it means there are no longer any obstacles, nothing stands on Serbia's way towards Europe," said the Serb President Aleksandar Vucic.
