"(I) held separate, detailed meetings with both chief negotiators in Brussels this week to outline our work plan on the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia for the coming months," the EU official wrote on X.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and Belgrade's chief negotiator at the technical level, Petar Petkovic, met with Sorensen on Tuesday, with whom he discussed progress in the dialogue and the position of the Serb people in Kosovo and Metohija.

Petkovic told his interlocutor that Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija are exposed to political and institutional pressure from Pristina almost on a daily basis, and warned that before every election, Albin Kurti reaches for unilateral and escalating moves to the detriment of the Serb people, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija quoted Petkovic as saying in a statement.

Numerous attacks and ethnically motivated incidents directed against Serbs, Petkovic said, are a direct result of Kurti's aggressive anti-Serb policy and the negative political narrative against everything that is Serb.

Petkovic told Sorensen that the policy of Belgrade and President Aleksandar Vucic is to preserve peace and stability in the Western Balkans and protect the rights of the Serb people in Kosovo and Metohija.

He added that Serbia will remain on that path despite the efforts of Pristina, which is reaching for unilateral moves and obstruction of the dialogue.
