Mogherini issues statement following conversation with Vucic

BRUSSELS - EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini spoke on the phone to Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic Thursday "to discuss the way forward in the implementation of the agreements reached in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue," said a statement released by the European External Action Service.

"They agreed on the need for a swift implementation of all the agreements reached, to the benefit of the people. They also shared the assessment that successful continuation of the dialogue is essential for the whole region," the statement also said.

The Serbian government press office said in a statement earlier on Vucic and Mogherini had agreed implementation of the Brussels agreements was the basic condition for a continuation of the dialogue on other significant matters.
