The daily reports on the front page that, similar to other recent meetings, parties involved in the latest round of the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia are said to have achieved “significant” progress, but that there are still some technical issues that need to be clarified before an agreement on justice can be reached.
The statement issued by the facilitator of the dialogue, EU High Representative Catherine Ashton, implies that an agreement is close. “I am pleased that the two sides have almost concluded their discussions on justice,” said Ashton, and added that there was general consent between the parties to meet again soon.
Prime Minister Hashim Thaci said after the meeting that only the justice system was discussed at the meeting. “I hope the agreement can be finalised in the upcoming meeting,” he said. On the other hand, Serbian officials made it clear that the agreement can happen only after the new Government is formed, after 27 April.
