Serbia: EU mandated to mediate in Belgrade-Pristina dialog

The EU has been mandated by the UN Secretary General to mediate in the dialog between Belgrade and Pristina, because this is a European issue, said Oliver Ivanovic, state secretary of the Serbian Ministry for Kosovo.

“The stability of Europe and this part of the Balkans depends to a great extent on the beginning of the dialog,” said Ivanovic. He says a dialog needs to be held, but its format has to be approved.
