After the meeting, which lasted for almost three hours, he stressed that it was an open and frank, the Pristina-based Reporteri site writes, quoted by Tanjug.

"We expected more understanding for EU's proposal for normalization of relations and the possibilities it offers," Lajcak said.

He added that they are still halfway there and will not stop until they reach the goal.

"The purpose of the meeting with Kurti was our proposal for normalization of relations, which we presented in September and then in December. We spent more than two hours, the meeting was long, not easy, but it was honest and open. It is still too early to give any dramatic statement, because as you know we are in the middle of our mission and we will also travel to Belgrade," Lajcak said.

In addition to Lajcak, the US special envoy for the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, German Chancellor's foreign policy and security advisor Jens Plettner, French President's foreign policy advisor Emmanuel Bonn and Italian Prime Minister's foreign policy and security advisor Francesco Talo attended the meeting.
