BRUSSELS - The EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak says the last two weeks were a "whirlwind of diplomatic efforts" focused on progress in normalisation of Belgrade-Pristina relations and that the dialogue was the "primary focus" in the period.

BRUSSELS - The EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak confirmed on Monday discussions following Pristina's decision to ban the Serbian dinar would be continued in Brussels on Thursday, April 4, and expressed the hope "the remaining difference" would be bridged.

He spoke after the meetings he had last week together with US emissary Gabriel Escobar in Belgrade and Pristina with the aim of de-escalating the situation in the north of Kosovo and pointed out that despite the hopes they had, tensions are still growing.

"The final agreement should be centred on mutual recognition," Bislimi, who is Prime Minister Albin Kurti's person in charge of the dialogue, added.

'Nothing is happening'
