BRUSSELS (AP) — The leaders of Serbia and Kosovo made no breakthrough in emergency talks aimed at defusing tensions around their border. But European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic agree on the need for early elections. Tensions flared in northern Kosovo last month after local police seized control of municipal buildings in a region where Serbs are in the majority. The aim was to install ethnic Albanian mayors who were elected in local polls that Kosovo Serbs boycotted. Violent clashes followed. The two leaders refused to meet face-to-face in Brussels on Thursday but held separate talks with Borrell.
