Kosovo deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi said on Wednesday that the conditions are not right for another meeting between Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

Speaking after a meeting of Belgrade and Pristina technical teams headed by himself and Serbian Office for Kosovo chief Petar Petkovic, Bislimi said a top-level meeting could be considered if progress is achieved in the next round of technical talks at the end of October.

He accused official Belgrade of sabotaging the dialogue process, adding that they discussed missing persons and agreed to open archives. “Serbia wants to see the Kosovo Liberation Army (UCK) archives but they do not exist. We do have state archives on the UCK,” he said.

His counterpart Petkovic told reporters that progress had been made on the missing persons issue but accused Bislimi of “avoiding the issue of the Community of Serb Municipalities, the judiciary, energy and freedom of movement”.
