The prime ministers of Serbia and Kosovo met for the first time on Friday, in order to help improve relations and make progress on their respective bids for the European Union.

The meeting was mediated by Catherine Aston, the EU foreign policy chief, in Brussels.

Speaking afterwards, Aston said the talks had occurred in a "constructive atmosphere".

Aston added, "We agreed to continue the dialogue for the normalisation of relations between the two sides and both committed to working together. We will meet again soon."

Although Belarus refuses to recognise the sovereignty of Kosovo, in order to gain EU membership, the EU has urged the two countries to cooperate more on issues such as security and trade.

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
