"Ashton would like to see Vučić join dialogue"

BRUSSELS The European Union is not deciding on the composition of Belgrade's and Pristina's delegations in the dialogue between them. However, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton would be delighted to see Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic getting involved in the process, Tanjug has learned in Brussels. "Ashton would like to see Vucic join dialogue" The dialogue is being led by the two prime ministers and they are deciding on the composition of the delegations, Maja Kocijancic, spokeswoman for Ashton, has told Tanjug. EU High Representative Catherine Ashton has not sent Vucic a written invitation to take part in the talks but would be very happy to see him come together with Dacic, she added. Belgrade media reported Thursday that Brussels and Washington have urged Deputy Prime Minister Vucic to become more personally involved in the process. The United States is supporting the dialogue on Kosovo, but it is not in a position to call on anybody to take part in the talks. Vucic will decide whether he will join the talks with Pristina on April 2 after relevant consultations with President Nikolic and Prime Minister Dacic, but he believes, in principle, that his presence in Brussels is not necessary, Tanjug has learned at the office of the deputy prime minister.
