A round of dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina was held in Brussels on 27 January 2016. In this meeting, which was mediated by EU HR for Foreign Policy Federica Mogherini, our delegation was headed by Prime Minister of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic. First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic and Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić also took part in the meeting.

The topics of the dialogue were the Community of Serbian municipalities, university diplomas, freedom of movement and the upcoming parliamentary elections in the entire territory of Serbia. A statement by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy says that progress has been made in the recognition of diplomas, as well as in the implementation of the agreement on freedom of movement, whereby both parties have agreed on starting talks on direct flights and rail connections. Mogherini underlined that the talks were held in a very good atmosphere and that they focused on the implementation of agreements reached in the dialogue.
