Meetings under Kosovo- Dialogue continue Friday- Serbia

Diplomats in Brussels call this meeting a “meeting under dialogue” and warn that the same day, Lajcak will communicate via video connection to Serbia's delegation as well. But meetings between Kosovo and Serbia were not expected.

According to warnings in Brussels, the main topics of discussion are expected to be the issue of the missing and energy. It has often been said that there is a great alignment around these two themes and the deal is “almost almost the work done”. But according to the same resources, only a few details remain to be clarified.

The Kosovo side has said that energy issues will no longer be discussed with the Serbian side, but only with the EU, which has taken over the ease of this agreement. But, the EU has remained to clarify “” with Belgrade some issues about the subject.

In Brussels, they have reiterated that the Kosovo Government's decision not to allow Serbia's elections in Kosovo to be held has caused disappointment, but hope that this decision will not have a negative impact on dialogue.

But as the EU's special envoy for dialogue has said, Miroslav Lajcak, in an interview for Radio Free Europe, the EU will not call a high-level meeting between Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, without certain that there will be no concrete results at that meeting.

Diplomats in Brussels say they do not expect any concrete moves in the dialogue until the Serbian presidential and parliamentary elections are complete held on April 3rd. After the elections, they also expect a new dynamic in dialogue, with the aim of having concrete agreements as well.

Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, with EU mediation, has started in 2011 and aims to achieve full normalisation between the sides.
