The two prime ministers decided to resume negotiations in Brussels on September 8, with European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton attending. She has been leading the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo for two years.
Dacic and Thaci have reiterated that they are determined to ensure the success of local elections in Kosovo on November 3, with the highest turnout possible, Ashton said in a statement.
Preparations for the elections have been undermined by the decision of Serb leaders in north Kosovo, where Serbs are in the majority, to boycott the vote.
The local elections are part of an agreement on the normalisation of relations which Serbia and Kosovo signed in April, under which north Kosovo along the Serbian border gets a degree of independence in which Pristina has virtually no control.
Another aim of the negotiations in Brussels is to agree on telecommunications. Kosovo Albanians want their own area code, while Serbia wants to keep its national mobile operators in north Kosovo.
Kosovo also wants autonomy in electricity supply, while Serbia wants to keep its power providers in north Kosovo.
