A screening for Chapter 35 negotiations on Serbia accession in the EU was held in Brussels - a chapter that covers the issue of normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina. The Serbian delegation in the screening of Chapter 35 comprised Serbian Minister without Portfolio in charge of Kosovo-Metohija Aleksandar Vulin, and Chief Negotiator of the Republic of Serbia Tanja Mišćević. The officials of the European Commission (EC) and European External Action Service (EEAS) and the members of the delegation of the Republic of Serbia are alternately, in accordance with the practice of so-called explanatory screening, as well as bilateral screening, presented their positions. As usual practice, after every screening, the European Commission files the report to member countries on the degree of adjustment of Serbia's plans to those of the EU in the scope of the Chapter 35. After the screening meeting for Chapter 35, Minister Aleksandar Vulin said that the explanatory and bilateral screenings were held in Brussels, which means that both sides presented their respective positions concerning the normalisation of the Belgrade-Pristina relations, and stressed that this chapter did not open new topics in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.
