The head of the EU’s foreign policy, Josep Borrell, warned of the possibility of new meetings of European leaders with the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučič.

Several meetings took place earlier this Thursday in Brussels.

“The work is ongoing. Maybe we should leave the EU summit and sit down again with the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia and see if we can find some solution through dialogue. There is no other choice. The European path of Kosovo and Serbia passes through this dialogue,” Borrell told reporters.

Kurti and Vučič met separately with the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, the French President, Emmanuel Macron, the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, as well as high representatives of the EU.

Meloni said that the two leaders have been asked to take steps forward “in the implementation of the documents and agreements reached in the last months and years”.

“We will see how this day will pass and we hope to take some steps forward”, said the Italian Prime Minister after the meeting that took place on the sidelines of an EU summit.

And while Kurti and Vučič did not give any statement to the journalists, the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, said that he congratulates the Prime Minister of Kosovo “for accepting the proposal of the EU to advance decisively towards an unblocking solution, regarding the Association of Municipalities with Serbian majority, through the instruments of self-management, as a framework for the following negotiations”.
