In light of the heightened tensions, above all thanks to the media statements made by Pristina and Belgrade officials, a meeting between Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci has not occurred today - instead they held bilateral meetings with EU representative for foreign and security policy, Federica Mogherini.

Reporters learned this is Brussels from the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, who spoke after Vucic's meeting with EU's Federica Mogherini, who acts as the mediator in the Belgrade-Pristina talks.

Vucic will not talk to Kosovo President Hashim Thaci this Friday in Brussels, and the question is whether talks with Pristina will continue, and when.

But, in case of "destabilization of the situation," that decision can be reversed, says president of the Kosovo Assembly Kadri Veseli.

Dacic also spoke about the upcoming visit of President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo, and touched on the case of Sara Vidak as well.

Asked if there would be a shift from the deadlock in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, the minister stated what he thought the problem was.

But Pristina-based newspaper Koha Ditore is reporting that the five men have been released "immediately after they were questioned."

According to the Serbian government, they discussed "bilateral relations of the two countries, European integration of Serbia and the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue."
