Serbia and Kosovo leaders meet

The prime ministers of Kosovo and Serbia have met for the first time in Brussels.

The talks, facilitated by the EU, focused on normalising relations between the neighbours.

EU foreign affairs chief Barioness Catherine Ashton chaired the meeting and said they would "meet again soon... to improve the lives of people and help solve problems and, in so doing, bring Serbia and Kosovo closer" to the EU.

Belgrade has been moving closer to be considered for EU membership and was granted “candidate status” in June.

Serbia has not recognised Kosovo’s independence, but most EU states have full diplomatic relations with Pristina.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
