Trilateral meeting of Belgrade, Pristina and EU delegations underway in Brussels

BRUSSELS - A trilateral meeting of Belgrade, Pristina and EU delegations is underway in Brussels.

Belgrade's delegation, which includes many experts, is headed by the director of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic, who is also chief negotiator.

The EU delegation is led by special envoy Miroslav Lajcak and Pristina's delegation is headed by Besnik Bislimi.

The main topic of the meeting, which began at around 12.30 pm, will again be Pristina's unilateral decision to ban the Serbian dinar in Kosovo-Metohija, as well as the establishment of a Community of Serb Municipalities.

It is a sixth Brussels meeting on the dinar ban.

The previous meeting of chief negotiators was held on April 18.

Petkovic said at the time Belgrade had done absolutely everything to find a solution in the wake of Pristina's unilateral and violent decision to ban the Serbian dinar and Serbian cash operations in Kosovo-Metohija but that Pristina wanted no solution to be found.
