The Prime Minister of Kosova, Albin Kurti and the President of Serbia, Aleksander Vucic are today in Brussels for a series of meetings with leaders of the European Union.

According to EU spokesperson Peter Stano, their separate meetings are a continuation of the process that began last weekend, when the so-called QUINT countries’ emissaries visited Prishtina and Belgrade.

“The idea is that these meetings take place on the margins of the EU summit, in support of the return to dialogue. The message of the EU is that we expect both sides, Serbia and Kosova, to return immediately and without obstacles to the obligations arising from the dialogue, to work immediately to reduce tensions and restart the dialogue,” stated Stano.

Kurti and Vucic will be received separately by the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.

The head of the EU’s foreign policy, Josep Borrell, will also be present at the meetings, who will also inform the heads of state and government of the EU about the situation in the process of normalizing relations with Kosova – Serbia.

Stano said that there is not any planned meeting between Kurti and Vucic for the moment.

But some diplomatic sources in Brussels said their joint meeting would depend on meeting European leaders.

The representatives of the latter are part of the QUINT that visited Prishtina and Belgrade on October 21 and presented a plan for the normalization of relations.

Stano confirmed that the plan contains a “modern European proposal” for the statute of the Association of Serb-majority municipalities in north of Kosova, while, according to EU sources, it asks Serbia to confirm its support for the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement for the normalization of relations. .

The Government of Kosova said that Kurti has agreed that this plan is “the framework for continuing further discussions with the allied countries”.

Vucic, on the other hand, said that Serbia is ready to talk about the plan, but admitted that “the planned meetings will not be easy”.
