At an informal videoconference of EU foreign ministers on Thursday, Romania's Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu underlined that the enlargement process must remain a major priority with the EU.

Romania's Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu and his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias co-chair today an informal videoconference of EU foreign ministers featuring their counterpart from Albania Olta Xhacka, and from North Macedonia Bujar Osmani.

Serbia's President, Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, will meet EU officials in Brussels next week, but will not meet each other, it has been confirmed.

"It is in Kosovo's interest to benefit from this historic opportunity and push forward Kosovo's requests by lobbying the US administration," said Violeta Haxholli, a researcher at the Kosovo Democratic Institute, KDI, a Pristina-based think tank.

Dialogue 'will be imposed as important'

According to the Belgrade media, that document will contain concrete expectations from Belgrade in the process of resolving the issue of Kosovo and Metohija.

"We analyzed the last elections held in Kosovo and Metohija. We stated absolute support among the Serb population for the Serbian List. It is higher in the north, and in accordance with that, we will take measures to oppose the violence of Albanian political entities," Vucic said.

After the session, President of Serbia and the leader of the SNS, Aleksandar Vui, will address the citizens.

"In the coming weeks, following the joint hard work of the forensic team, more families will be able to close a very dark chapter in their lives," Fabien Bourdier of the International Committee of the Red Cross said in early December.

Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti on Thursday promised to respond to a letter from the EU Special Envoy to Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, criticising his government's decision not to allow Serbia's President, Aleksandar Vucic, to visit Kosovo.

Any request for a visit will be treated in the context of the country's current state of affairs, Hoti replied.
