Day 624 of the invasion of Ukraine. Summary of key events in the last 24 hours:

BRUSSELS - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday continued a Brussels meeting with EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell and the EU's special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak after the first part of the meeting with European officials concluded shortly after 3 pm.

BRUSSELS - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's meeting with European officials in Brussels concluded shortly after 3 pm on Thursday.

Previously, European officials spoke with the Prime Minister of Pristina's temporary institutions, Aljbin Kurti, who left immediately after the meeting, without giving statements to journalists.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will be on a one-day visit to Brussels on Thursday for meetings with many European officials.

NEW YORK - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday evening he had had many meetings in New York with nearly all European leaders over the past two days, including with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and European Council President Charles Michel.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovenia, Tanja Fajon, assessed that the countries of the Western Balkans should "at full speed" take advantage of the opportunity related to EU enlargement.

According to Professor Stefan Surli, citizens don't believe their countries will ever become EU members because they think there are hidden conditions that cannot be fulfilled. For Serbia, that condition is the normalization of relations with Pristina, and the dialogue is, as he says, clinically dead at the moment.

A special clause in the countries' accession treaties to the European Union can ensure that they cannot block other applicants immediately after entry.

This was stated by the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, at the Strategic Forum in Bled, which gathered heads of state and government from the Western Balkans and other countries, including Bulgaria and Greece.
