The dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade will be raised to the presidential level, claims Kosovo President Hashim Thaci.

In a statement for Deutsche Welle, carried by Pristina-based Albanian language daily Epoka e Re, Thaci said that the focus of the talks will be on "a wider political framework" in order to achieve an agreement that would lead to "good neighborly relations, cooperation, normalization and reconciliation."
