Tadic said on the sidelines of the 65th General Assembly of the UN that he and Ashton agreed on important elements of the dialogue, who would chair it and in which way, the FoNet news agency reported.
Tadic said that it was early to speak about the participants in the dialogue, but that "there is no dilemma that the negotiating teams will consist of experts." He also announced that the EU will form its own team, which will participate in the talks and facilitate the overcoming of contested issues.
The Serbian president said that Belgrade had proposed that the talks start with those issues that are the easiest to solve, in order for the entire dialogue to be conducted in a good atmosphere.
