Belgrade and Pristina will resume talks soon

As a vital decision on Serbia’s EU candidate status looms in Brussels, Belgrade and Pristina are hurrying back to the negotiating table.

The next round of EU-mediated talks between Belgrade and Pristina starts on February 21, Maja Kocijancic, a spokesperson for the EU foreign policy chief, confirmed.

The agenda will cover the vexed issue of Kosovo’s representation at regional meetings, which is a sticking point for the two sides.

“The two sides managed to achieve certain convergence of stands [on this point], after EU mediator Robert Cooper invested intensive efforts to this purpose,” Kocijancic explained.
