Federica Mogherini, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security/Vice-President of the European Commission, has invited the two parties to a high level meeting of the Dialogue for normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina next week, on Tuesday, 24 January in Brussels.

The developments over the past days underline the need for increased commitment and engagement by the two sides through the Dialogue. Progress in the normalisation of relations between Kosovo and Serbia remains of paramount importance for both sides, for the European Union, and the Western Balkans as a whole.
