Kosovo’s chief negotiator, Besnik Bislimi, is in Brussels for meetings as part of the ongoing Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.
Klisman Kadiu, Media Advisor to the Acting Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, confirmed that Bislimi is in Brussels but stated that details regarding the meetings, including formats and discussion topics, will be shared after the sessions conclude. No public information has been released yet, and the EU has not provided comments at the time of publication.
EU Special Envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue, Peter Sorensen, who visited Kosovo on August 6, 2025, previously noted that the political situation in Kosovo could delay progress in the dialogue. After separate meetings with President Vjosa Osmani and Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, Sorensen said:
“This is a regular meeting. We discussed the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement and the situation on the ground. The political situation here [in Kosovo] means things may take longer, but I am pleased to be here today.”
When asked about the current state of the dialogue, Sorensen responded briefly:
“Alive and ongoing.”
The Ohrid Agreement, signed in March 2023, outlined steps for normalizing relations, including recognition of relevant documents and national symbols such as passports, diplomatic credentials, vehicle plates, and customs stamps. It also provided for a level of self-governance for the Serbian community in Kosovo. Despite these agreements, full implementation remains pending.
Kosovo and Serbia have been in EU-mediated talks since 2011, initially addressing technical issues before moving to political discussions. While many agreements have been signed, implementation has often lagged, with the dialogue viewed at times as stalled or “dead.”
