Kosovo\u2019s Chief negotiator in the dialogue with Serbia Besnik Bislimi said on Wednesday in Brussels that the mediator of this process, Miroslav Laj\u010d\u00e1k, has decided not to hold a trilateral meeting at this moment.<\/p>\n
He made these statements after a meeting with the EU mediator for the dialogue, stating that the Kosovo side was interested in a meeting between the three officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems to be Laj\u010d\u00e1k\u2019s stance that a trilateral meeting at this moment would not necessarily contribute to the finalization of the documents, as he believes that there is still a need for additional coordination before this happens. He even has the idea that the sequencing plan of the Basic Agreement requires a high-level meeting, according to him, and clearly, the chief negotiators cannot successfully conclude this process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, Petar Petkovi\u0107, Serbia\u2019s chief negotiator, also met with Laj\u010d\u00e1k.<\/p>\n
In a late Wednesday Twitter post, Laj\u010d\u00e1k said that he discussed \u201ca long list of Dialogue issues with Bislimi and Petkovi\u0107, starting with the implementation of the 27 February Agreement and de-escalation in the north\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cDiscussions will continue in the coming period.\u201d<\/p>\n
