The prime ministers Ivica Dacic of Serbia and Hashim Thaci of Kosovo are to meet in Brussels on August 27 with European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, Ashton's spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic reported on Wednesday.

The meeting will focus on the implementation of the agreement on normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, Kocijancic said.

The two sides are conducting negotiations mediated by the EU but have still not come to an agreement over telecommunications and energy. In addition, Belgrade considers Kosovo's insignia on electoral material for Kosovo local elections in November to be disputable, the Belgrade-based news agency Beta reported.

Dacic said that he expected an agreement would be reached at the meeting over outstanding issues, Beta reported.
