According to the announcements by the Austrian Foreign Ministry, the meeting is also attended by European Union special representative in Kosovo Peter Feith.
The International Steering Group for Kosovo was established in Vienna on February 28, when it held its first meeting.
The members of this body, as Feith explained on the occasion, are countries that are "friends of independent Kosovo" - Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Turkey, Finland, Belgium, the United States, Denmark, Hungary, Slovenia, Switzerland and Great Britain.
One of them -- the Czech Republic - did not recognize Kosovo in the meantime due to internal divisions on the issue.
