Next round of the negotiation trio Mogherini-Vučić-Mustafa, set for 13 October, would be a working dinner, not a classical round of the dialogue carried out so far in Brussels. This will be an opportunity  for making it clear what would be the deadline for Pristina to establish the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM), considering that Kosovo politicians are making all possible efforts to ‘buy time’ and postpone its establishment for the next year.

At the latest August prime ministers’ round, the deadline of four months was set for the establishment of the A/CSM, what would be 25 December, however some interpretations appeared in Pristina that a four-month deadline would start from the moment after Constitutional Court gives the green light for the A/CSM. Since it is quite uncertain when is that going to happen, Serbian side suspect that it is about the intention for keeping the A/CSM ‘on the ice’ as long as possible, even until eventual extraordinary elections in 2016, which could completely paralyze establishment of the A/CSM.

Even though the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, haven’t said what would be the topics on the next week ‘menu’, from diplomatic circles in the EU seat paper learned that the idea for this meeting is that it is held in as much as possible relaxed atmosphere, in order to review what has been implemented from the reached agreements, and that two sides propose new topics for continued dialogue.
