This negotiating round, as well as the first one last month, focused on decentralisation and the financing of Serb municipalities in Kosovo.
The negotiations were not chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, the UN chief envoy for negotiations on the status of Kosovo, but his deputy, Austrian diplomat Albert Rohan.
Today the two sides were not close to agreeing regarding the financing of Serb municipalities, the German dpa news agency said citing sources from the two delegations.
The Serb side wants its minority in Kosovo to remain close to the government in Belgrade, which the negotiators from Pristina reject.
The Serb proposals lead to a "de facto division of Kosovo," Kosovo Albanian representative Dardan Gashi told Austria's APA news agency.
He said Pristina had nothing against ties between Serb municipalities and Belgrade or against Belgrade financing them. He added, however, that assistance must not come directly from Belgrade to the Kosovo Serb municipalities. "Everything must go through institutions in Pristina and through the Kosovo budget."
The eight-member Serb delegation was led by Leon Kojen and Slobodan Samardzic, advisors to Serbia's president and prime minister, while the Kosovo delegation was led by Kosovo Democratic Party leader Thaqi, Local Self-Government Minister Ljutfi Haziri, and government minister Sadik Idrizi.
