EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has called crisis talks with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic for next week, a spokesperson said on Thursday.
“He invited both leaders for a ‘crisis meeting’ in Brussels next week,” EU foreign affairs spokesperson Peter Stano said. “We will share more details at a later stage.”
Tensions between the two Balkan neighbours have increased dramatically in recent weeks, prompting fears of a major outbreak of violence between the former wartime foes.
