STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBRUSSELS - European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell blamed Kosovo on Thursday for a failure to implement a deal with Serbia on normalising relations between the two former wartime foes.
Ethnic Albanians form more than 90% of the population in Kosovo, with Serbs only the majority in its northern region where the majority municipalities association is envisaged. The clashes erupted after ethnic Albanian mayors took office in the north, with the backing of Kosovo special police units, following local elections in which turnout was just 3.5% due to a boycott by Serbs.
Borrell said he had proposed to Kurti and Vucic that the two steps -- launching a municipalities association and de facto recognition of Kosovo -- be taken"in parallel". Vucic had accepted the proposal, but Kurti rejected it, Borrell told reporters.
