The special envoy of the European Union for the dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak, said that the progress in the dialogue has been slower than I had hoped, what they have achieved continues to be primarily for the benefit of the citizens in both Kosovo and Serbia. However, it states that it is encouraged by recent small steps forward such as the creation of the Joint Commission on Missing Persons.

Lajçak wrote on Facebook that it is the last time to bring the families and loved ones of those whose fate is still unknown. The Joint Commission is set to provide the necessary political impetus.

"Just before the holidays, I met the chief negotiators, the first deputy prime minister Besnik Bislimi and the director Petar Petkovic. I thanked them for the good cooperation during the past period. The meeting took place amid a busy week for the Western Balkans, including the European Union-Western Balkans Summit and the adoption of the Council's Conclusions on Enlargement. For both Kosovo and Serbia, they send a clear message that there will be no EU integration without the normalization of their relations and provide a detailed work plan for the year ahead, approved by all EU member states. They describe the expectations for the implementation of the 2023 Ohrid Agreement: de-escalation of tensions, responsibility for the 2023 attacks, re-integration of Kosovo Serbs, establishment of the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities, recognition of Kosovo's documents & symbols. he wrote.

He also wrote about his visit to Skopje, where he reconfirmed that the expansion is happening, and that he wants to remain committed to fulfilling the defined requirements.
