EU pushes for deal between Belgrade and Pristina

The pressure is enormous: Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić and Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti met in Brussels on Monday for a new round of the so-called Belgrade-Pristina dialogue. This time, the two adversaries were expected not just to talk, but to deliver. On the table: a ten-point plan that both sides should sign by March. After years of stalemate, the EU finally wants concrete steps toward normalization between the two countries and self-government for the Serb minority in Kosovo. The US is also pushing hard.
