European Council adopts conclusions on Belgrade-Pristina dialogue

BRUSSELS - EU leaders welcomed on Thursday an agreement reached by the leaders of Serbia and the so-called Kosovo in Ohrid, North Macedonia, on March 18.

In conclusions adopted at the end of the first day of a Brussels summit, the European Council called on both parties to "implement expediently and in good faith their respective obligations."

Previously, EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell said any attempt to question the Ohrid agreement was futile and that it must be implemented.

In a statement to reporters before the two-day summit, he said the EU would monitor closely which party was implementing the agreement and which was not.
