Thaci

According to a press release from the cabinet of the Kosovo president, Thaci told Mitchell that Washington's support to the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue was "crucial (for) the achievement of the final and legally binding agreement."

"They could not convince her to do such a thing until today and they cannot guarantee that they will do it tomorrow or in the near future," Thaci added in an op-ed published on his website.

"Recognition by Serbia is our primary hindrance on or Euro-Atlantic journey," he also stated, and added:

"This caused a certain amount of damage," the founder of the opposition Self-Determination party stressed in a statement for Vienna-based daily Standard.

Kurti explained that Thaci "seems" to be involved in negotiating an agreement with Serbia on the issue of "Kosovo's statehood."

"It was fake news was published to draw attention away from the successful visit of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo and Metohija," Dacic told TV Pink.

He added that this piece of news was immediately found to be fake "because Thaci was supposedly to come to Presevo with EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn, but that was denied from the cabinet of Commissioner Hahn."

The meeting will take place in the first half of September.

Thaci stated that the topics for the upcoming talks between him and Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic haven't yet been determined, writes Pristina's Albanian language paper Epoka e Re and UNMIK reports in their press release

Koha Ditore announced on its front page on Thursday that the daily will "terminate any official communication with the president and his office" until Thaci publicly apologises for accusing the newspaper of working in the interests of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

Thaci told a press conference on Wednesday that he "only meant adding the Presevo valley to Kosovo" when he spoke about "correcting the borders."

And at the same time, "there would be no partition of Kosovo nor autonomy for Kosovo Serbs," he said.

Thaci said after the meeting in Pristina on Thursday that he was concerned about their rights not being respected, but that they cannot be a part of a legally binding agreement with Belgrade.

"There will be no partition of Kosovo, and a legally binding agreement after the end of the dialogue will be signed between two independent states," Thaci told a press conference.

Thaci spoke in the presence of EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini - who mediated the meeting - to tell reporters on Wednesday that the dialogue round was "difficult."

"This was the worst meeting that has been held with Serbia in the last six years," Thaci said.

Thaci told the media that he had spoken with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in the presence of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, B92's reporter in Sofia said on Thursday.
