Stano: New round of technical-level dialogue between Belgrade, Pristina due on October 24

BRUSSELS - European Commission spokesperson Peter Stano confirmed to Tanjug on Thursday a new round of technical-level dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina would be held in Brussels on October 24.

The chief negotiators of Belgrade and Pristina in the EU-facilitated dialogue last met with EU special envoy Miroslav Lajcak in Brussels on September 17, but no trilateral meeting was held.

The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic, who is also Belgrade's chief negotiator, said at the time a trilateral session had been rejected by Pristina's chief negotiator Besnik Bislimi after Belgrade's delegation insisted on topics such as a Community of Serb Municipalities, postal services and implementation of agreements, presenting measures for protection of Kosovo-Metohija Serbs.
