The “Ide has been preparing the field for the next meeting, maybe this week, tomorrow, between the two heads of state, but this has failed because of Mr. Vuciq's unwillingness to go to Brussels. Mr. Kurti has been declared ready to start discussing the comprehensive agreement as soon as possible, but Vuciq has argued the visit of Egypt's president, who is expected to stay three days in Serbia”, Bislim said.

Regarding the failure of this meeting, Prime Minister Albin Kurti's office has also said the “guilty” of the failure of this meeting was the Serbian president.

That's what he said about Telegrafi, the government's spokesman, Kryeziu Progress through a written answer.

“Prime Minister Kurti has expressed readiness for a high-level political meeting as he has expressed readiness to hold it this month. Deputy Prime Minister Bislimi has even stayed in Brussels last week to prepare the grounds for a meeting at the level of state leaders. This meeting has failed because of Serbia's unwillingness for such a meeting, expressed on one side through pressures for changing the agenda of the trilateral meeting at the chief negotiators level and on the other side of the argument that the meeting cannot be held because of Egypt's president's visit to Serbia”, Kryeziu has said.

He has added that these Serbian actions are aimed at sabotageing the dialogue process.
