On September 4, 2020, Mr. Hoti and Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia, signed an agreement. This agreement was about making economic relations between Serbia and Kosovo better. It happened at the White House in the United States, with Donald Trump, the President of the United States, present. The agreement aimed for easier travel and trade. Both sides also agreed to work with American banks and join the Mini Schengen Zone. A key part of the agreement was that Kosovo and Israel would recognize each other.
On December 21, 2020, Kosovo's Constitutional Court made a ruling. They said that one vote for Mr. Hoti's government was not valid.
