The High Representative of the European Union, Josep Borrell, will inform the EU Foreign Ministers today about the progress of the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia and the discussions that the EU's special envoy for dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, had in recent days in Pristina and Belgrade. 

This was confirmed on Monday, January 23, at a press conference by the spokesperson of the EU for Foreign Policy and Security, Peter Stano. 

He did not want to talk much about the meetings that Lajcak had in Pristina and Belgrade, saying that the special envoy himself spoke about this after the meetings in both capitals. 

"Following the visit that Lajcak had, the high representative, Borrell, will inform the ministers today about the results of the meetings and about the next steps in the dialogue process", said the EU spokesperson, warning that during the day Borrell will release more details. 

European Union sources have said that the answer to the question of when the next high-level meeting between the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, in the framework of the dialogue, depends on the results of the meetings.

The same sources have said that they expect the parties to take the "European proposal" seriously and to be constructive in the continuation of the dialogue. 

During his last visit to Kosovo and Serbia, Lajcak was accompanied by the American envoy, Gabriel Escobar, as well as by three senior advisers from Germany, France and Italy. 

This joint visit, according to diplomats in the EU, was intended to send the message of great support for the proposal given to the parties and for which they await their response and commit to its approval. 

After the meeting with Kurti, Lajçak said that the delegation of international emissaries expected more understanding about the possibilities offered by the EU proposal for the normalization of relations between Pristina and Belgrade. 

Meanwhile, after the meeting with the Serbian president, Aleksandar Vucic, Lajcak said that he "showed a responsible approach and willingness to take difficult decisions in the interest of peace and the European perspective of Serbia". 

The EU proposal, previously known as the Franco-German plan, was submitted to authorities in Pristina and Belgrade at the end of the summer. It is also supported by France, Germany and the USA. 

Officials in Pristina have said earlier that this proposal represents a good basis for continuing the dialogue with Serbia, while those in Belgrade have said that it is not favorable for them.
