European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said he will ask at today’s EU leaders’ summit for strong support for the proposal to resolve the Kosovo issue that is “on the table.”

“I will ask the leaders for a strong support in order to avoid any kind of escalation, and ask them to work seriously on this proposal, which is the only way to try to solve and normalize the relationship between Kosovo and Serbia,” Borrell told me media prior to the meeting in Brussels.

He said he would brief the leaders about the situation of the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, about the last developments and last contacts.

“The proposal is on the table. I have been calling the two leaders [of Serbia and Kosovo] to come back to Brussels – soon, in a couple of weeks – in order to definitely push for this proposal,” said Borrell.

Noting that “we have been going from crisis to crisis,” Borrell stressed that “now it is time to de-escalate and to work constructively.”
