Kallas: I will visit Belgrade and Pristina in May, dialogue must be continued

LUXEMBOURG - EU foreign policy and security chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue must be continued and announced that she would visit both Belgrade and Pristina in May this year.

Speaking to reporters in Luxembourg after a meeting of the EU Council on Foreign Affairs, Kallas said it was clear that normalisation of Belgrade-Pristina relations was crucial and that the dialogue must be continued.

Kallas, who hosted a meeting of Western Balkan FMs on Sunday evening, also said discussions about the region at the Council meeting had been very good as well and that regional stability and security were essential.

Geographically, the Western Balkans is in Europe, and they should also be in the EU, she said, noting that EU enlargement was extremely important and that progress must be made in the process.
