European Union Council President Charles Michel told the Serbian state TV (RTS) on Wednesday that diplomatic efforts are underway to convince the leaders of the Western Balkans that they should be working on dialogue and stability.

He voiced hope that the meetings on the margins of the European Political Community summit in Spain would help resolve problems, adding that the EU is working closely with the US and NATO to send the message that there is no time for new crises. Now is the time to use the opportunity to advance towards the EU, he said.

According to him, Belgrade and Pristina should resolve their disputes and benefit from the opportunity to advance the region towards the EU.
