For now, we do not have a new date for the continuation of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels, and according to available information, the negotiations will not be continued in August, says President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic.

According to him, there is no date for returning to the negotiating table, and that also refers to the technical dialogue.

"It is up to us to support the Serb List. They are buying some Serbs, but we must not allow the Serb unity in Kosovo and Metohija to collapse. According to what I know, there will be no continuation of the dialogue until the end of the month, but I am always ready to go to Brussels when necessary," the president said the day before.

A spokesman for EU High Representative Josep Borrell, Peter Stano, said in a statement to the media a week ago that the EU would "inform in a timely manner" if a meeting of expert teams, negotiators or dialogue at the highest level was to occur.

During the last meeting in Brussels, on July 19, the delegations of Belgrade and Pristina could not agree on anything, because representatives of Pristina rejected all EU proposals.

At the time, the prime minister of Pristina's provisional institutions did not accept any of the three points in the EU proposal, and said that Serbia had committed three genocides against Kosovo Albanians.

After the meeting, the president of Serbia said that Belgrade received the EU proposal, which was harmonized with main negotiators, and that Serbia fully accepted all three points.

"To intensify joint efforts to identify the remains of missing persons, to refrain from actions that could destabilize the situation on the ground and for the main negotiators to meet once a month and prepare high-level meetings," Vucic said at the time.

On the other hand, Albin Kurti stated after the meeting in Brussels that he never said that Serbs were a genocidal people, but that the regimes in Serbia were such.

"We will make sure that everyone exercises their rights. Kosovo was an international protectorate, under UNMIK, EULEX, now under the Specialist Chambers, and we have always been under the supervision of international justice, which was not the case with Serbia," he said at the time.
