first, here's more from brussels.ter: the first meeting of the highest officials of serbia and kosovo, after more than a year, is taking place at a time of high tensions and rhetoric that is so strange that the european commission describes it as inflammable. european diplomats emphasize that they are determined that the meeting will continue until a solution to the current crisis is found. the latest tensions were triggered late in july ahead of kosovo's intention to make all citizens to use kosovo car plates. also people from serbia entering kosovo would have to have issued exit entry documents which would be used as i.d. during their stay. this move triggered local serbs to put up roadblocks and sound air raid sirens. even several gunshots were reported. kosovo postponed implementation of the law for one month, and serbs can remove roadblocks, but tensions have state ahead of september 1, the new date of planned implementation. jens stoltenberg held meetings with both leaders, which was not an unusual practice. his

so if not longer, we've seen several clara in the meantime. brussels has always attempted or rather brussels has attempted as always, to be the sort of mediating pacifying ties to this i on. if we're going to be perfectly honest about those, i don't expect much more than just the usual kicking the can down the road. brussels is not necessarily the officials in brussels. don't not necessarily have you know, much of a carrots or much of a stick to the care that they have offered to both times. and i do not expect some sort of grand solution to the, to the outstanding problems when it comes to this issue or, you know, any, any thing that's going to go beyond what we've usually heard, which is that both sides have a very rigid on, on the problem with the owner. of course there are many who are worried right now that cost 0 in serbia might be headed toward another war. you wrote a piece for political earlier this month where you said that on the ground in cost of people have been downplaying. that possibility and panic had subsided, at least for now. so what is the mood at the moment? will people

i believe that both sides are now meeting in brussels. you front of the community there and old boy and braille. they. they are aware of these facts and everything that both serbia and cough so we'll get there. we'll get it on the negotiating table. i believe that this notion is well placed in belgrade. i hope and i, i, i the, this is the message you transfer those with robin with the when he spoke with him in june, negotiate the table should be the only table for bullying issue. there is no, luckily there is no zaleski in the region. there is no book in the region either. so there is, there is no possibility for any logic to involve and also pretend fulton bank messages right to the security and then employment to make the person is also giving a strong signal that night. none of the possibilities for greater conflict is knocking on the west and that everybody is aware just following the situation and trying to solve every issue that exists, especially issues related to freedom more meant and any other freedom that should be guaranteed t

and its former problems that declared its independence in 2008 in brussels. we're inside story news outage. all right, let's get a closer look at this story. cause of declared its independence from serbia in 2008 after years of strained relations between the majority ethnic albanian population and minority serbs. but it has not been recognized by the us or serbia. while the us in some you countries have welcome to move and serbia has blocked causal from joining various international institutions. but both are now seeking to join the european union. so normalizing relations as seen as crucial for their bids. ah, all right, let's bring our guests in pristina. when a high diary, a reporter for political europe in sarajevo, alexander brands are a western balcony analyst host and producer of the podcast. calling and in belgrade, human rights lawyer, milan on 20th, which a warm welcome to you all. and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story . well, let me start with you today from your perspective, can this meeting yield any concrete results? what we've

already begin to find out after all who is here the main national government or the brussels or brusselsat the first stage. it seems to me that if these parties focus on getting more autonomy in deciding their strata. questions and more independence brussels oddly enough will retreat for tactical reasons just as it happens with hungary, so will brussels immediately start a war of annihilation against these politicians who do not fit into their scheme. no, it won't. he does n't have it right now. e forces will e, put up with this as well as measured. e sorban, and in hungary and further, let's see how the situation will develop, so i'm answering directly to the essence of your question, and whether they are corrupted right away, whether they are deprived of the opportunity to pursue the policy with which they were elected, there are chances that the pre-election , uh programs will be these politicians, there is indeed a serious chance for this to be implemented. well now let's uh talk a little about the united states in the united states is also very active. the discussion about how long

ok, d, w is birth higert reporting for us from brussels. thanks so much. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. now. the u. s. navy says 2 of its worships have sailed through the taiwan strait. it is the 1st such transit since china staged unprecedented military drills around the island. taiwan lives under constant threat of invasion by china, which claims it as its own territory. germany is filling its gas stalks more quickly than expected, despite russian supply cars. the government says it's on target to fill 85 percent of gas storage capacity by early next month with current levels at 82 percent. relent plans to stop using russian gas entirely next year. india has carried out its largest ever demolition logic to 100 meter apartment towers and the outskirts of the capital delhi were brought down in a matter of seconds. india, supreme court or the demolition after was discovered high right. the high rise is violated. numerous safety regulations. officials in the west african state of angola are marking the final tall

i asked, he w, corresponded bert figured in brussels. how this will make travelling for russians more difficult? yes, it's very, more costly and also the be more complicated to, to lock an application in the shannon countries instead of 35 years russians would have to pay 80 years. they would have to wait 3 weeks for the process to be finalized and alter the embassies could ask for more documents, and also for proof that the tourists can maintain themselves than they are in shannon. and that is difficult because they don't have access to international credit card systems anymore and or to international bank accounts. so there will be a lot of administration administrative burden added through the process. and all of that is designed to cut back the entries from russians into the shannon zone. so far since russia began its war on ukraine half a year ago. we have won 1000000 entries by russian passport holders registered in the you. most of them through finland, latvia and estonia, the 3 countries that have land borders with russia. becaus
