Kosovo's PM: Territorial integrity cannot be part of dialogue

Earlier, Vucic described Pristina's demands as "impossible, unrealistic and unacceptable."

Hoti said that since the beginning of the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue on the normalisation of relations in 2011, "Serbia has not shown true intentions toward the normalisation," and that it delayed the process by buying time and by the continued campaign against Kosovo's sovereignty.

"However, we are still committed to a peaceful process of normalisation which only can be achieved if Kosovo and Serbia respect each other's statehood," Hoti said.

He added that his Government had shown "true benevolence" by lifting barriers to the goods from Serbia, giving a chance to the dialogue and a final, legally binding agreement between Kosovo and Serbia which should be reached in mutual recognition of the two countries."

According to Hoti, the process can be successful if concrete principles lead it.

"A comprehensive agreement between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia should result in mutual recognition. Without such an outcome, any agreement cannot be successful. The mutual recognition is the only way to normalise the relations and open a way to the European integrations for both countries," Hoti said.

The participants in the online summit on Friday included the French President Emmanuel Macron, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the European Union diplomacy chief Joseph Borrell and the bloc's special envoy to the Western Balkans Miroslav Lajčák.

Hoti and Vucic will hold a video conference on Sunday and then meet face-to-face in Brussels on Thursday.
