Trilateral meeting underway in Brussels

BRUSSELS - After bilateral meetings, a trilateral meeting of Belgrade and Pristina representatives and EU officials began in Brussels at around 11.30 am on Thursday as part of a new round of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.

The meeting is being attended by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Pristina's PM Albin Kurti, EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell and the EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak.

Previously, Borrell and Lajcak held separate bilateral meetings with a Belgrade delegation headed by Vucic and a Pristina delegation led by Kurti.

The European External Action Service (EEAS) has announced Thursday's round of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue would address the implementation of an agreement on the path to normalisation and current issues.

Borrell is due to make a statement to the media at the end of the meetings in the EEAS building.
