Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will resume the dialogue this week in Brussels, Pristina-based Koha Ditore and Belgrade-based Tanjug news agency reported last night.

This announcement arrives in the midst of intense discussions on the legally binding agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. Vucic and Thaci have simultaneously been announcing ethnic delimitation between Serbs and Albanians, i.e. border correction, which was harshly criticized by their oppositions.

The opposition and part of the Serbian public have also been strongly criticizing the fact that the Kosovo flag was hoisted at Notre Dame, where the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the allies’ victory in the First World War will take place on November 11th. Media also speculate that Vucic and Thaci will have a meeting in Paris.

However, the latest news arrived last night from Belgrade when the head of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, accused Pristina of blocking the Brussels’s dialogue.

During an extraordinary press conference, Djuric said that Serbia is demanding the immediate abolishment of the decision by the Kosovo government to increase the import taxes on the goods imported from central Serbia by 10%.

„With this decision, Pristina has blocked the Brussels dialogue at all levels. Serbia considers the immediate abolishment of this pestilent and illegal decision as a necessary precondition for the continuation of the Brussels dialogue, “ Djuric underlined.
