Stano: No announcements to make about any kind of upcoming Belgrade-Pristina meeting

BELGRADE - European Commission spokesperson Peter Stano said on Wednesday there were no announcements to make about any kind of upcoming meeting in the EU-facilitated dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and declined to comment on speculations a high-level meeting could take place soon.

"First of all, we never comment on any speculations and secondly, indeed there is no announcement I could make about any kind of upcoming meeting in the framework of the EU-facilitated dialogue," Stano said at a Brussels press briefing when asked to comment on speculations that a high-level meeting could take place this week.

In an October 6 Facebook post, the EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak said

he would focus on preparing for the next Brussels meeting of the chief negotiators of Belgrade and Pristina and noted that he would like to host it "in the coming weeks."
