BRUSSELS - Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini, said in Brussels Thursday she was not familiar with a document in which Pristina had set new conditions for Belgrade, noting the EU was a facilitator in a dialogue that was currently focused on implementing agreements.

The European Commission said on Thursday that the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue "never was, and will not be based on ultimatums."

BELGRADE - For both Belgrade and Pristina, progress on the EU path primarily depends on the normalisation of relations between them, says European Parliament rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister.

Overall progress is required, but the individual contribution of each side will be analysed as well, McAllister told Tanjug.

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday expressed the suspicion that Pristina had set on its own the latest conditions for a continuation of the Brussels dialogue, which he said was not helping to solve problems, but escalating them further.

BELGRADE - President of the Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun said today, based on the information that no new chapters will be opened in October in negotiations between Serbia and EU, that Brussels should define what exactly it wants from Serbia.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic says the new conditions set by Pristina in order to continue the dialogue in Brussels show they "do not want dialogue."

Vucic on Thursday said "these things" will be discussed at the government session, and during his conversation with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.

Serbia's first deputy PM and foreign minister, Ivica Dacic, says Belgrade will "never" discuss the latest demands coming from Pristina.

"That is a fountain of wishes and (Edita) Tahiri's wish list that she can hang on the bulletin board of the Kosovo parliament," Dacic said in the Serbian National Assembly late on Wednesday.

The Serbian government will meet on Thursday and declare itself regarding "the scandalous demands" presented by the representative of Pristina, Beta reported.

Kosovo's special prosecution on Tuesday filed two indictments for organized crime and money laundering against 22 and 17 persons respectively.

Both groups were allegedly led by Azem Syla, former member of the Kosovo Assembly from the ruling Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK, and a former commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, during the 1998-1999 war.
