This policy report will make a thorough assessment of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue in the light of its resumption from a diversity of angles, highlighting its successes and critically pointing out its shortcomings. To this end, the first block of content will consist of a well-developed and comprehensive timeline, where the main events that marked the turbulent course of the dialogue will be identified and analytically explained. Followingly, it will delve into a thorough political assessment of the involvement and ambitions of major world powers –the European Union (EU), the United States (US), Russia and China– in the process of the dialogue, digging deep into their interests and broader strategic, geopolitical and ideological aspirations. The third and last section will be devoted to advancing an in-depth discussion on the future of the dialogue – where it is heading, what there is to fix, what the prospects for success are, and where Kosovo is standing at this point in time.
