A meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council will be held in Brussels on Thursday, at which High Representative Catherine Ashton will inform EU foreign ministers on the latest round of talks between Belgrade and Pristina, the Council of the EU has announced.

The meeting will begin with a discussion on latest developments in the Western Balkans, in Serbia, Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH).

The Foreign Affairs Council is expected to continue supporting the EU's policy on the Western Balkans, the Council of the EU press service released, adding that opinions will be exchanged and conclusions adopted at the forthcoming debate on enlargement at the session of the General Affairs Council on December 5.

The ministers are planned to discuss the situation in BiH, with a reminder that this year's European Commission report assessed BiH's progress as very limited.
