Relations in the region and continuation of the European integrations would be the main topics at the working dinner of the Western Balkans heads of governments, organized by EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Federica Mogherini in Brussels this evening, Vecernje Novosti writes today.

Serbian Prime Minister, Ana Brnabic would take part at this informal gathering where bilateral meetings are also planned.

Belgrade-Pristina dialogue would be one of the topics. Novosti further reported that the next round of a dialogue is not scheduled yet.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Federica Mogherini to meet officials from the six Western Balkan countries at an informal working dinner in Brussels on Monday, December 18th, reports Blic.

Serbian Foreign Minister and First Deputy PM, Ivica Dacic says the idea of the whole region joining the EU "as one package" is unacceptable to Serbia.

Speaking late on Tuesday in Brussels, Dacic pointed out that "everyone should advance at the speed that they deserve."

Peoples Party, headed by Vuk Jeremic, said the negotiation process with the EU is rather slow, despite concessions made in negotiations with Kosovo, Serbian media reported.

The European integrations are slow because of corruption and catastrophic situation in the judiciary, which has been confirmed by the statements of the highest EU officials on Monday, the party further said. It added, the best example of a slow pace is a fact that only two chapters were opened instead of five as planned.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is in Paris this Tuesday for the climate change summit.

Speaking for RTS, he commented on Monday's opening of two new two chapters in Serbia's EU membership negotiations.

Vucic sees participation in the summit as an opportunity to meet with the French president who is at the moment one of the two most important political figures in Europe and is influential in the world.

The rhetoric used by Self-determination MP, Albin Kurti on the unification of Kosovo and Albania, although not new has specific significance at this moment not only because of the movement’s ascent, but also of the splice of great powers’ interests, whose trump card he could be, Serbian daily Vecenje Novosti writes today.   

EU Commissioner for Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, Johannes Hahn welcomed last night opening of the new chapters in Serbia’s EU accession negotiations, and highlighted that Serbia in the future must focus on the rule of law and normalization of relations with Pristina, Serbian media reported.

He assessed the opening of chapters as an indicator of a Serbia’s serious commitment and its realistic and firm European perspective, Serbian media reported further.

Next year Kosovo is expected to chair the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA). Kosovo’s Minister for Trade and Industry, Bajram Hasani, told Radio Free Europe that Kosovo will be presiding only under the name Kosovo, without UNMIK acronym. He added that representatives of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo will not be participating at CEFTA meetings either.

A few weeks ago official Pristina threatened that it would leave CEFTA if presented as UNMIK.

Centre of Foreign Policy Director, Aleksandra Joksimovic said to RTK 2 that the format of the Brussels dialogue would not change, but the USA will be more active in the process of normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.

Joksimovic also said she does not believe legally binding document would request from Serbia to recognize Kosovo, but would seek that both Belgrade and Pristina unimpeded move towards the European integration.

Vuk Jeremic says that he still believes that a decision made in 2010 to change Serbia's draft UN General Assembly resolution on Kosovo was "completely wrong."

"I was informed from Belgrade that it was decided to change the resolution the evening before the vote, where I had secured a majority for our original text. I was in shock and trying to contact Belgrade," Jeremic, at the time Serbia's foreign minister, who now heads the People's Party, told the Fakti website.
