All that happened at Kurti-Vucciq meeting.

It was the epilogue of the latest round of talks between Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, who took place in Brussels on Tuesday.

European negotiating mediators demanded more constructive approaches from the parties, until they expressed fears for the possible escalation of the situation in northern Kosovo.

Kosovo's “Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq continue to have diametrically opposing positions regarding the formation of the Serb majority municipalities”.

So European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said after the meeting.

Although he said the parties in the dialogue have enormous differences, Borell found room for optimism, saying that at today's “meeting, a symbolic step of” towards establishing the Association of Major Serb municipalities in Kosovo.

The looks of the parties are very different from the nature of this association. I didn't expect anything else. I have been sure that the parties have different views, but even if they are not reconciled, they have agreed to start negotiations on the future of the Association”, Borrell said.

“I want to encourage both sides to engage in this process constructively and confidently and to be ready to reach compromise”, he added.

While Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq blamed the Kosovo side for failing to reach agreement on forming association.

He also said that for the key “issue” of forming the Serb majority communities' Association, it is clear that “Pristina does not want to meet its ten-year obligation before”.

For me it was clear. Today we managed to rely on the wall. It is unacceptable for them in the draft because of the Kosovo Constitution, which do not want a new Republika Srpska. And then we got to the third point, which is the actual situation. Following shameful elections and illegal elections in northern Kosovo, where 3.4 per cent voted. How to overcome the current situation. The EU came out with its proposal, I accepted it, Pristina rejected”, Serbia's president said after the meeting.

Vuciqi said he hopes that by the next round at the technical level, there will be a reaction from others that could “condition in changing such positions”.

Otherwise, I'm afraid we're all in a huge dead end. I am not an optimist, but I can promise that we will do our utmost to maintain peace and stability”, Vuciq said.

And Prime Minister Kurti, speaking of the State of Association Draft presented by the Serbian side, said he testifies to the Serbian will for “Republika Srpska” in Kosovo.

Kurti said that at today's meeting, the Managing Team that has presented a draft-status as it added that from what it read, it is currently incompatible with the constitution of legitimacy.

At this meeting today, after the agreement for the found out, we listened patiently and carefully to the Manager Team that presented a draft-state with a total of 67 articles and then gave our say that such a draft. What we heard and read, is currently incompatible with the Constitution, legality, democracy, European values, human rights, minorities according to European standards. Despite that, we will be interested in finding solutions, so in this case I proposed a draftvision as Kosovo's prime minister in terms of Article 7 of the basic agreement considering also Article 1050, Kurti has declared.

Furthermore, the head of Kosovo executive said he has proposed a draft-vision of what values should be and

I have proposed a draft vision of what values and principles should be like, what the framework should be, which regulates the issue of communities not majority. I believe it will be seriously treated by mediators because that way we will be able to build something good, right, useful to all Serbs not only because they have to live in our country to be members of our society”, Kurti stressed.

At yesterday's meeting, Kurti and Vuciq initially adopted the Declaration of Extinction from the last war in Kosovo.

The declaration envisions several commitments to the parties, which could lead to the dawning of the fate of over 1,600 people who continue to remain missing from the 1998/99 war.

EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell, who chaired the Kurti-Vucciq meeting, said the EU welcomes the adoption of this statement and expects the <x0pals to make tangible progress in closing the unresolved cases of missing persons”.

“Selecting the issue of missing persons is not only a humanitarian obligation. It is also an essential opportunity for reconciliation and trust among people”, Borrell said, among other things.

Borrell, after meeting with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurtin, and Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, has indicated that the meetings will be again this month.
