Kosovo-Serbia dialogue Kurti and Vucinqi face again Monday in Brussels

From the EU Media Office, they have confirmed on Telegrafi that the meeting will be held Monday.

“We can confirm that the next summit will take place on Monday (July 19th) in Brussels”, the EU's response reported.

The meeting between Kurti and the European Union-brokered Vuciqi will focus, according to EU spokesman Peter Stano in discussion on the further progress of the talks, which are very important for the European future of Kosovo and Serbia.

The meeting will begin at 2: 00 p.m., where the delegations of the two countries will first meet with EU mediators Josep Borrell and Miroslav Lajcak and will follow a trilateral meeting.

It has also become known that there will be a media statement by the EU High Representative at the start of the meeting and a press statement by the EU Special Representative after the end of the meeting (about 18:00).

Ahead of this meeting, to be held Monday, the Pristina and Belgrade technical teams met for three days in Brussels with EU envoy in the dialogue Miroslav Lajqak. According to Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi, who leads the Kosovo delegation in the talks, the Kosovo side has submitted, remarks about the Serbian side's request for association.

We remember that Kurti and Vuciq met in Brussels on June 15th, unless they achieved any progress. Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq again demanded that “Kosovo fulfil the agreement to establish the Association of Communities with the Serbian Majories”, while Prime Minister Kurti says that Kosovo “cannot allow the repetition of Bosnia and Herzegovina's” scenario and instead of association proposed the establishment of the National Council for Kosovo Serbs, as do Albanians and Bosniaks in Serbia.

At the last meeting on June 15th, Prime Minister Kurti made four proposals, including that, “Kosovo and Serbia immediately sign a joint peace agreement, pledging they would not attack each other”.
