BRUSSELS - EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell said on Thursday he expected Saturday's Ohrid meeting, which will focus on the implementation annex of a proposed EU agreement between Belgrade and Pristina, to result in far-reaching normalisation of relations between the two sides.

In light of the heightened tensions, above all thanks to the media statements made by Pristina and Belgrade officials, a meeting between Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci has not occurred today - instead they held bilateral meetings with EU representative for foreign and security policy, Federica Mogherini.

BRUSSELS - Head of the Serbian government office for Kosovo Marko Djuric said after a meeting on Friday, held as part of the talks on the normalisation of relations with Pristina, that the main goal of the meeting had been to find ways to make life easier for the people in Kosovo.
