– Kosovo and Serbia fully commit to honour all Articles of the Agreement and 
this Annex, and implement all their respective obligations stemming from the 
Agreement and this Annex expediently and in good faith.

– The Parties take note that the Agreement and the Implementation Annex will 
become integral parts of the respective EU accession processes of Kosovo and 
Serbia. The Parties note that immediately after the adoption of the Agreement 
and this Annex, the EU Facilitator will start the process to amend the Chapter 
35 benchmarks for Serbia to reflect Serbia’s new obligations stemming from the 
Agreement and this Annex. The agenda of Kosovo’s Special Group on Normalisation 
will equally reflect Kosovo’s new obligations stemming from the Agreement and 
this Annex.

– The Parties agree to endorse the Declaration on Missing Persons, as 
negotiated under the EU-facilitated Dialogue, as a matter of urgency.

– To implement Article 7, Kosovo launches immediately negotiations within the 
EU-facilitated Dialogue on establishing specific arrangements and guarantees to 
ensure an appropriate level of self-management for the Serbian community in 
Kosovo, in compliance with relevant previous Dialogue agreements as determined 
by the EU Facilitator.

– The Parties agree to set up a Joint Monitoring Committee, chaired by the EU, 
within 30 days. The implementation of all provisions shall be ensured and 
supervised by the Joint Monitoring Committee.

– To implement Article 9, the EU will organise a donor conference within 150 
days to set up an investment and financial aid package for Kosovo and Serbia. 
No disbursement will happen before the EU determines that all provisions of the 
Agreement have been fully implemented.

– Kosovo and Serbia agree that all Articles will be implemented independently 
of each other.

– The order of the paragraphs of this Annex is without prejudice to the order 
of their implementation.

– Kosovo and Serbia agree not to block implementation of any of the Articles.

– All discussions related to implementation of the Agreement will take place 
under the EU-facilitated Dialogue.

– Kosovo and Serbia recognise that any failure to honour their obligations from 
the Agreement, this Annex or the past Dialogue Agreements may have direct 
negative consequences for their respective EU accession processes and the 
financial aid they receive from the EU.
