We agreed to continue our work on full implementation of all agreements and welcomed results of a joint working group on the integrated crossings management that took place on November 5-6, she said in the statement.
Ashton noted that they had discussed transparency of funds Serbia provides to the Serbian community in Kosovo and how to improve protection of the Serbian cultural and religious heritage in Kosovo.
According to the release, both sides agreed on a joint technical working group that will prepare a feasibility study for the construction of the Nis-Pristina highway.
Today's talks are the continuation of talks that started in Brussels on October 19 and last week's joint visit of EU High Representative and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Belgrade and Pristina, the statement reads.
We agreed to meet again soon, Ashton concluded in her release.
