"Good to be back at CoE in Strasbourg after almost 2 years. Appreciated the opportunity to brief EU member states on the state of play and the challenges ahead in the EU-facilitated Dialogue. EU unity is key in order to strengthen our political position in the Western Balkans," wrote Lajcak.

He added that he had the honor to participate in the 1,500 meeting of CoE ministers' deputies and to inform them about the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.
