EU expects Belgrade, Pristina to contribute to atmosphere of reconciliation

BRUSSELS - In a statement ahead of an April 4 Brussels meeting of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, the EU said on Friday it expected both parties to contribute to an atmosphere of reconciliation, normalisation and quick implementation of agreements.

A meeting of the chief negotiators of Belgrade and Pristina, to be hosted by EU special envoy Miroslav Lajcak, will address all details concerning the implementation of a February 27 agreement and its annex, agreed on March 18, the EU press service said, adding that the parties had agreed to refrain from any actions that would have the opposite effect.

In response to a Tanjug query about media reports that an agreement on vehicle licence plates was expiring at midnight, the EU press service said the November 23 deal had no expiry date.
