00:00 Meeting on the sidelines of a summit in Brussels, the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo are working
00:07 with top EU officials to try to normalise ties. It comes one month after a shooting
00:13 involving the Serbian nationalist paramilitaries and Kosovan security forces in northern Kosovo
00:19 in September. After more than a decade of negotiations, the EU wants the Balkan neighbours
00:26 to settle on a plan and put the hostilities to rest.
00:33 Last Saturday, British, European and US diplomats presented a draft document aimed at helping
00:55 to resolve their differences. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, which Serbia
01:02 doesn't recognise. Serbia still regards Kosovo a breakaway province.
01:23 Elections held in northern Kosovo's Serb-dominated communes in April were overwhelmingly boycotted
01:30 by ethnic Serbs.
01:52 Washington and Brussels want Belgrade and Pristina to implement a ten-point plan put
01:58 forward by the EU foreign policy chief earlier this year.
