Borrell: EU to endorse Belgrade-Pristina declaration on missing persons

BRUSSELS - EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell announced on Wednesday the EU would endorse the text of a Belgrade-Pristina declaration on missing persons, agreed by the chief negotiators of the two parties in Brussels on Tuesday.

"The agreement they reached on the text on the declaration on missing persons during yesterday's chief negotiators meeting is a first step.

We will endorse it at leaders level at the next high level meeting I will convene," Borrell wrote in a post on his official Twitter account.

"The parties must avoid any escalations. Translation of their commitments into their European paths is ongoing," he added.

"Serbia and Kosovo made a commitment on the Agreement on the path to normalisation and its annex. The EU expects both to honour all obligations from it and start implementing asap," Borrell also noted.
