Abstract

Attitudes toward Kosovo's independence divide the international community. Kosovo chose joining the EU as its strategic goal, which coincided with the intention of the European Union to integrate the entire region of the Western Balkans. However, achieving this goal is impossible without a political settlement between Serbia and Kosovo. The article analyses the role of the EU as the main mediator in the Kosovo and Serbia negotiations. It was noted that Russia's full-scale attack on Ukraine prompted the EU to intensify efforts to promote the European integration of Kosovo and Serbia. The attitude of Kyiv to the Kosovo problem was also in the focus of attention. It is shown that Ukraine avoided recognizing the independence of Kosovo primarily because of the potential negative impact of such a step on the position of Ukrainian diplomacy in countering the territorial encroachments of Moscow. However, the war with Russia weakens the significance of this argument.
