David L. Phillips, Director of the Program on Peace-building and Rights at Columbia University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights, presented to the students of the American University in Kosovo a review of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue and stressed that “a dialogue needs to be a state-to-state negotiations about Serbia recognizing Kosovo.”

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said that "a difficult compromise" when it comes to Kosovo does not mean that only one side is satisfied.

He said that when it comes to Kosovo a compromise was important, "in order to live in peace."

"I would neither add nor take anything away when it comes to what I said at the UN. Kosovo will not join the UN, unless we are satisfied with something, and we cannot be satisfied if they want us to recognize Kosovo," Vucic told RTS late on Tuesday.

President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, said in an interview to Radio Free Europe that dialogue for normalization of relations with Serbia is about to take on a new momentum with more frequent meetings set to take place between leaders of the two sides.

In an interview to KTV, Vetevendosje MP Albin Kurti said President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci is the person who has the least right to initiate the setting up of a unity team to represent Kosovo in talks with Serbia. “You have to be a unifying person to create a unity team. If there is one person that has no legitimacy to set up a unity team, that is Thaci,” Kurti said. He also noted that Kosovo should wait for the outcome of the internal dialogue in Serbia on Kosovo and “not interfere in Serbia’s internal affairs like Serbia does in Kosovo’s.”

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, met in New York in the margins of the UN General Assembly the President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, and the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic.
