BRUSSELS, June 22 (Reuters) - EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell proposed steps to end weeks of violence in predominantly Serb areas of northern Kosovo to the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia on Thursday, but there were no signs of an immediate breakthrough.
Tensions worsened after Serbian police arrested three Kosovo policeman last week, saying they crossed the border between the two countries.
The top EU diplomat said he asked Kurti "to announce early elections, as soon as possible, in all four municipalities on condition of participation of Kosovo Serbs".
"Here is the core of the problem and also the core of the solution - early elections, as soon as possible," Borrell told reporters after four hours of talks.
Vucic said he was ready for more talks with EU mediators, adding that meeting Kurti in person "makes no sense".
