“Although we failed to agree on the agenda of the trilateral meeting, we discussed political and technical issues and introduced the important steps that will guide our next discussion”, Lajcak wrote.
He added that dialogue has been the main focus of the past two weeks, but has also participated in several other activities.

The Ohrid Agreement, of 11 provisions, also envisions a level of self-awareness for the Serb community in Kosovo, mutual recognition of state symbols so that Serbia does not block Kosovo's membership in international organisations, and calls for Pristina and Belgrade to implement, as well, all previous agreements reached during dialogue.
