Key Points

Congress would require the State Department to send Congress a report within 180 days on how Serbia treats ethnic minorities.
The report would look closely at claims that ethnic Albanians in the Preshevo Valley are losing registered addresses, which could block them from renewing IDs and voting.
It would review whether Serbia is limiting Albanian language use in government offices and documents, and whether Albanian-language school textbooks arrive on time.
It would examine access to jobs in public institutions, recognition of diplomas earned in Kosovo, and support for Albanian media and culture.
It would also assess policing concerns (harassment or intimidation), use of ethnic symbols, and whether funding and policies are making life harder in Albanian-majority towns.
