Belgrade and Pristina failed to reach an agreement at top-level talks in Brussels in the presence of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell and EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told reporters on Monday, TASS reports. 

"For reasons I do not understand, we failed to reach an agreement," Vucic said.

"The Serbian side was absolutely constructive, we accepted tens of updates [to the treaty], but the Albanian side refused to accept anything even for a second, they always wanted to add something that is impossible," Vucic stated.

The president stressed that during the negotiations it was clear which side really wanted to reach an agreement, and the only thing that Belgrade insisted on was "that all the agreements signed earlier should be respected," he added. The Serbian leader said that he would analyze all documents, "put together all impressions" and address the nation later on Monday or Tuesday evening.
