The EU’s foreign policy chief has called on Kosovo and Serbia to do more to repair relations after weeks of risen tension between the two.<br /><br /> The leaders of both governments were in Brussels to take part in EU-backed talks.<br /><br /> “I hope that in the coming hours and days we can make sure that everybody comments a bit less on each others and we engage more and concretely on solving the problems that are still on the table,” Federica Mogherini told reporters.<br /><br /> Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008; a move that neither Belgrade nor its ally Moscow recognise.<br /><br /> A train emblazoned with the slogan Kosovo is Serbia was turned back from the border between the two, and Serbs in the north of Kosovo also built a wall in the ethnically divided town of Mitrovica.<br /><br /> They said it was for landslides; ethnic Albanians claim it was to keep them out.<br /><br /> Serbia launched a crackdown in Kosovo in the late 1990s as a response to a separatist movement .<br /><br /> The conflict was halted by a NATO military intervention in 1999.<br />
