A high-ranking official said, however, that Kosovo might be touched upon on the fringes of other discussions, notably on Serbia.

He said the EU was aiming at "coordinating activies" related to the sending of an EU mission to Kosovo and the resolution of the status.

« We will send the mission when the situation is best ... remains to be seen whether this will be before or after an event », he said in response to a question on whether the EU mission will be sent « before or after the independence of Kosovo ».

"The answer to the question of ‘when' depends on the political situation and how it develops", the official said.
