(ANSA) - BELGRADE - The European Union does not call on Serbia to recognize Kosovo, according to Stefan Fuele (Czech Republic), outgoing enlargement commissioner. "The position of the EU is the same we presented last year when the basis for negotiations with Belgrade was adopted. At the same time, we said very clearly that what we expect is going on with the normalisation of relations between Serbia and Kosovo", Fuele said after meeting last night with Serbia's prime minister Aleksandar Vucic. "We have not applied for recognition (of Kosovo) at that time, and do not ask it today". Along with the other EU commissioner responsible for economic affairs, Jyrki Katainen, Fuele attended in Belgrade a conference on regional cooperation in the Western Balkans. (ANSA).
