Second meeting between Dacic, Taci on Wednesday

Ashton invited Dacic and Taci to a meeting in Brussels on Monday, her office released in a statement.
The aim of this meeting is to continue the dialogue that began on October 19, in order to normalize the relations between the two parties, the statement reads.

The media report that the topics likely to be discussed are the integrated border management, implementation of agreements reached so far and guarantees for Serbian cultural and religious heritage.

Dacic and Taci should first meet Ashton separately, after which they should have a trilateral meeting during the working dinner.
The first meeting between Dacic and Taci, mediated and attended by Catherine Ashton, took place in Brussels on October 19.

The EU and the U.S. welcomed the meeting as a positive step towards normalization of Belgrade-Pristina relations, which is one of the key conditions for Serbia to make further progress on the EU path.

Commenting on Taci's statement that the final outcome of the dialogue will be mutual recognition of the two states, Prime Minister Dacic dismissed such a possibility.
"It is absolutely impossible for Serbia to recognize Kosovo's independence declared in such a way," the Serbian prime minister told journalists in Rome.

Vucic: Nothing epochal at Brussels meeting 

Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic stated Wednesday that he does not think that anything epochal will happen at Wednesday evening's meeting between Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic and Kosovo Prime
Minister Hasim Taci in Brussels.

"It is important to continue the dialogue, and that Serbia paves its EU pathway without jeopardizing its state and national interests," Vucic said.

Vucic said that he will meet with Dacic on the occasion.
