The president of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić participated in another meeting, which was organized by the High Representative of the EU Federica Mogherini on 31 August 2017 in Brussels, in the framework of the Dialogue on normalization of relations between Belgrade and Priština. 

The aim of the meeting, which was attended also by Hashim Thaci, was to exchange the opinions on the continuation of the dialogue, in the light of the agreement reached in July, when the preparation of a “new phase of the dialogue” was agreed upon.

The president Vučić stated that on this occasion previously reached agreements had been confirmed and that full implementation of the agreement on judiciary was agreed upon. He emphasized that the implementation of the agreement on the bridge on river Ibar in Kosovska Mitrovica was also a subject of the meeting and said that the discussion regarding this issue would be continued in the following period, in order to implement this agreement until the end of the year, if possible. President Vučić and the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić noted at the meeting that there is no progress on the implementation of the agreement on the Community of Serbian Municipalities.

Vučić emphasized that it was the most important to conduct open discussion as regards long-term and more stable solution in the relations of Belgrade and Priština. He stated that there would be no change in the format of the dialogue, and that the discussions would be continued under the auspices of the EU.
