European Union High Representative Josep Borrell said on Thursday that he would invite top officials from Belgrade and Pristina to a crisis-management meeting in Brussels next week.

Borrell said that the situation in the north of Kosovo is deteriorating every day. “We are again in crisis management mode….I will call the two sides – Kosovo and Serbia – for a crisis management meeting here in Brussels next week,” the EU’s top diplomat said after a meeting at NATO headquarters with Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Borrell said that the European Commission is in close contact with the KFOR command and with both parties following the arrest of three Kosovo Police troopers by the Serbian police “to see what really happened there that led to this arrest”. He called for calm on the ground in the meantime.
