“We support all initiatives and the United States is our important partner, but the European Union is a mediator in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue. Countries that want EU membership must fulfill the obligations related to good neighborly relations and mutual cooperation, and politicians should promote the policy of mutual trust.”

“Welcomed the opportunity to address EU Foreign Ministers on the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue at #FAC [Foreign Affairs Council] today. I’m grateful for their genuine interest and strong support. Today’s discussion confirmed that the Dialogue is clearly linked to the European future of Kosovo and Serbia.”

“The movement of embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would be going against the EU policy on this matter. This is particularly a problem for Serbia, which is already far from aligned with the EU foreign policy. There has been an EU-led dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo for ten years now, so it [the Agreement] really has no novelty value. The deal for the sake of a deal ends up being very slim. If Kosovo and Serbia cannot find a way to normalize their relations, Kosovo has to develop its own foreign policy not relying on the US as its only pillar, and visa liberalization would be really important for Kosovo.”

“We are in a process that we need to take 'step by step' and without explaining the procedures and details of what goes first and what goes second. After all, it is important that we reach a successful conclusion, and that is a comprehensive legally binding agreement.”

“There is no EU member state with an embassy in Jerusalem. Since Kosovo and Serbia identified EU accession or EU integration as their strategic priority, the EU expects both to act in line with this commitment, so the European perspective is not undermined.”

“We have agreed on a mechanism for determining the registers of displaced and missing persons and access to all archives. Prishtina will adopt a law on the return of displaced persons, which is an important step, although we remain reserved about the results in practice.”

“This was our first exchange that allowed us to define the next steps in our discussions. Our next meeting will be dedicated to these two topics. Our negotiations today have been intense and not easy, but what precedes them is the will of both parties to continue the talks, despite the painful and complex issues at hand.”

“We are focused on supporting the process led by the European Union, which should lead to an agreement between Serbia and Kosovo. The story of the exchange of territories, or any other potential aspect of the agreement, diverts attention from a key goal: for Serbia and Kosovo and their governments to sit down and work on finding a way to normalize relations. We support that process – so I think it is irrelevant and disruptive to talk about issues such as the exchange of territories. We need to dedicate ourselves to what needs to be done in order for the participants in the negotiations to progress towards a comprehensive agreement which would, once and for all, put an end to the dispute.”

“The first element discussed was missing persons and displaced persons. The first topic is symbolic in the context of reconciliation and is a very important issue for family members living in uncertainty for decades.”

“The EU-facilitated dialogue on [a] comprehensive normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo is back on track after 20 months. We agreed on the main elements of the process. We also agreed on the agenda of our next meeting that will take place this coming Thursday, in Brussels, in person. I want to thank our partners for their constructive engagement today.”

“We will not have an easy time in the future. I think we will be exposed to great, great, let me not say pressure, but expectations from our European partners. At the same time we are faced with a completely unrealistic approach from Kosovo Albanians who want it all, leaving Serbia without anything. No one is going to cuddle us or give us a present. On the contrary, we will be pressured to give in.”
