"We hope that the dialogue on normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina will be restored as soon as possible and that progress will be made," Schieb told Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, commenting on unofficial information that EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has asked for the dialogue to end by early June.

Minister of National Defence Gabriel Les on Tuesday had a meeting in Brussels with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini, in which context he voiced Romania's support in strengthening the EU profile in the field of security and defence, on the coordinates of action complementarity and synergy with NATO.

The EU foreign and security policy chief remarked this upon her arrival to the NATO foreign minister's meeting on Wednesday, when journalists asked "should European citizens feel concerned after this stern warning that (US State Secretary) Mike Pompeo launched to Russia?"

This has been announced in a press release posed on the EEAS wesbite.

It added that "the European Union expects Serbia and Kosovo to swiftly deliver on their commitment to the dialogue given the direct link between comprehensive normalization of relations between them and the concrete prospects for their EU aspirations."

The statement, posted on the European External Action Service (EEAS) website, reads as follows:

"Today we commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica. As some victims are still being laid to rest, we extend our sympathies to the survivors and to the families and friends of those who have suffered and lost their lives.

Instead it would only weaken the process, they said, Beta is reporting.

Instead of the substance of the talks, the negotiators will have to deal with who should be involved, at least for a while, they have cautioned.

On 21-22 June 2018 Sofia hosted the 20th high level meeting of the Coordination and Cooperation Mechanism on Drugs of the European Union and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (EU - CELAC).

Also, Federica Mogherni's team informs representatives of EU member states about this topic during meetings of various working groups of the Council of the EU.

According to a press release posted on the EU External Action Service website, the high representative for foreign affairs and security policy will travel to the Western Balkans April-19, and will visit "Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia."

BRUSSELS - The Western Balkans is geographically a part of Europe and "can collectively become part of our European Union," says EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini.

"It is time to close the wounds of the past, and take new steps to guarantee stability to the region and the whole of Europe," Mogherini wrote on her personal blog.
