The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, had a phone call with the United Kingdom's special envoy for the Western Balkans, Sir Stuart Peach.

As Kurti announced on Twitter, they discussed the meetings in Brussels and the importance of an agreement with mutual recognition.

"Before the discussions in Brussels, I had a productive phone call with 🇬🇧 the special envoy for the Western Balkans, Sir Stuart Peach, emphasizing the need for an agreement focused on mutual recognition and good neighborly relations," Kurti said.

Otherwise, after more than a year, Kurti and Vucic will meet in Brussels on August 18, within the dialogue mediated by the European bloc.

Despite the fact that the agenda has not yet been made public, the meeting is expected to focus on reducing tensions between the two countries.

The reasons why Kurti and Vučić have not held meetings within the framework of the dialogue are related to what the EU has called "lack of readiness and will of the parties to achieve concrete progress in the dialogue".

The EU has not yet announced the agenda for the August 18 meeting.

However, Kurti has stated that in this meeting he will not talk about the decisions of the Government of Kosovo, about Serbian license plates and documents.

Meanwhile, in Belgrade they insist that the topic of the dialogue should be the creation of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority.

Serbia demands that Kosovo implement the agreements reached in 2013 and 2015, within the dialogue.

However, the Government of Kosovo has declared against a mono-ethnic association, while recently, the envoy of the United States for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, has expressed the position that discussions should begin for the Association, but it should not create a "state within the state"./Telegraph/
