BRUSSELS - After meeting with Serbian PM Ana Brnabic in Brussels on Tuesday, European Council President Charles Michel called for immediate de-escalation in the north of Kosovo-Metohija and a continuation of the EU-facilitated Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.

In a Twitter post, Michel said a "clear European Council message on the need for immediate de-escalation of the situation in north of Kosovo and continuation of EU-facilitated dialogue" had been conveyed at the meeting.
