Belgrade wants talks on issues not in agreement

BRUSSELS - Belgrade's negotiating team on Tuesday relayed to representatives of the European Commission a request to start a dialogue on issues not covered by the Brussels agreement.

"Our side has requested from representatives of the European Commission that we start a high-level political dialogue on issues not covered by the agreement, but of vital importance to both sides," Tanjug heard from sources close to the team.

The issues in question are property, the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and the conditions for Serb participation in central institutions in Pristina.
"So far we have talked bilaterally with representatives of the EU. The talks are open and complex" said the source.

This is the second meeting between implementation teams from Belgrade and Pristina since Serbia's Prime Minister Ivica Dacic and Kosovo's Prime Minister Hasim Taci initialed an agreement on April 19.

Belgrade's team is again headed by advisor to the Serbian president Marko Djuric and Pristina's by Deputy Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci.
