Kosovo Prime Minister Avdulah Hoti said that Belgrade and Pristina's delegations were expected to discuss "drafting a final agreement between the two countries" at their next meeting in Brussels, on July 23.
Having explained that "a national coordinator" would represent Pristina at the meeting, the Kosovo PM said that a technical dialogue no longer existed, and that only a political one leading to "mutual recognition" was taking place.
"Another meeting is taking place in Brussels, on July 23, and it will be attended by a state coordinator for the dialogue, whom I will soon appoint to be in charge of drafting a final agreement on mutual recognition," Hoti said.
The prime minister noted that the talks continued after 20 months. "Our international partners understand the process very well. The normalization of relations should be a derivative of mutual recognition," Hoti said to reporters.
The Kosovo PM also said that he would meet with the leaders of parliamentary parties, and that he had asked the parliament to brief MPs on the meeting in Brussels.
