"The meeting aims to determine the work plan for the upcoming sessions, as well as address some important issues on the issue of missing persons. In this context, our delegation will present some key requests, mainly related to the monitoring of the implementation of the Declaration on Missing Persons, with a special focus on the letter on archives, which we have addressed to Vuçiq, and other important issues in this field," Hoti wrote.
The European Union's envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, also said that the focus this week in Brussels will be on the first meeting of the Joint Commission on Missing Persons.
Regarding the need to advance the dialogue, Lajcak wrote that he has discussed with high officials of the United States.
My first mission of the year took me to the United States. In Washington DC, I engaged in detailed discussions with Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Jim O'Brien and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Balkans Sasha Kasanof. Together, we delved into the geopolitical challenges and opportunities facing the region, emphasizing the importance of continuous cooperation and the need to advance in the Normalization Dialogue," Lajçak wrote.
He wrote that he also informed the Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Verma, before the latter's visit to the region.
Kosovo and Serbia agreed on the full implementation of the Joint Declaration on forcibly disappeared persons in December of last year. The agreement on the establishment of the Commission was made during the tripartite meeting between the chief negotiators, with the envoy of the European Union in Brussels.
