License plate history:

The issue of license plates was regulated through the Brussels Agreement on Free Movement as part of the Dialogue process. The Brussels Agreement on Free Movement, which was reached in July 2011 in the technical dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, stipulated that all car owners residing in Kosovo must use the license plates 'KS' (Kosovo) or 'RKS' (Republic of Kosovo) and thus remove from use the license plates issued to Kosovo Serbs by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia.

The citizens of Kosovo followed the measure for more than 10 years, while Kosovo with the Prime Minister Albin Kurti decided the measure: Considering it a measure of reciprocity. Tensions escalated as, according to Serbian President Vucic, the move violated the agreement.
