The general overview of the overall implementation does not leave much room for optimism. None of the articles from the Ohrid Agreement has been fully implemented, neither by Serbia nor by Kosovo. Article implementation has rather been sporadic and partial. On the other hand, the track record is slightly better when it comes to the implementation of Annex points. The results of the implementation assessment lead to three key conclusions. There is a symmetrical non-implementation on the political core (Articles 6, 8, 11) as neither side has moved on cooperation frameworks, missions, or a roadmap. Second, there is an evident asymmetrical implementation of individual obligations. For instance, Serbia’s non-compliance with Articles 4 and 5 (international blocking) is matched by Kosovo’s non-compliance with Article 7 (ASM). Each side’s failure justifies the other’s in the “blame game” patterns. Third, a crisis-driven partial implementation on technical issues (Article 1, plates and IDs) is produced not by political will but by crisis-management imperatives, which leaves these gains fragile.
