The candidate for prime minister of Kosovo from the opposition bloc, Ramush Haradinaj, yesterday met international diplomats accredited in Pristina and discussed with them the recent political developments. The paper says that Haradinaj also spoke about the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue and gave assurances that he would be constructive. Earlier in the day, outgoing Prime Minister Hashim Thaci also spoke about the dialogue in a telephone conversation with EU High Representative Catherine Ashton where he is reported to have expressed readiness to resume talks with Serbia. The paper quotes sources as saying that the EU team that facilitated negotiations between Pristina and Belgrade plans to resume them in September.
