No breakthrough at EU talks to ease Serbia, Kosovo tensions

The leaders of Serbia and Kosovo failed to agree Thursday on ways to ease tensions at talks with the EU in Brussels, the bloc's foreign policy chief said. The Serbian President and the Kosovo's premier were summoned for "crisis management" meetings after the EU and United States demanded the two sides calm the situation. 

But the two leaders did not meet face-to-face, and instead held separate talks with the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell. The latest flare-up between the two sides has come over the detention last week of three Kosovo police officers by Serbia, after weeks of tension over disputed elections in Serb-majority northern Kosovo.
