Dacic added that everything that has been happening lately shows the solution will not be reached quickly.

Serbian media on Thursday accused Kosovo of resorting to "war" and economic "cleansing" following its decision to hike import taxes to 100 per cent - while Kosovo media supported the measure, adopted in retaliation for Belgrade's role in Kosovo's failed Interpol membership bid.

Recently amplified anti-EU rhetoric by a number of Serbian government ministers could potentially affect public opinion about the EU, amid a deep division over Serbia's potential EU membership, experts say.
