The majority of citizens in Serbia and Albania support the continuation of the Brussels dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina even if it is not a condition for EU membership, while the most of population of Kosovo and Metohija favors the Dialogue only if it is conditioned by the European Union, shows a survey conducted within the project Security Research Forum Belgrade-Pristina-Tirana.

The survey was based on the same questionnaire and conducted in Serbia, Kosovo and Albania during the first three weeks of October 2013.

In Serbia, a number of 1200 citizens was interviewed, including a sub-sample of 200 citizens in Southern Serbia (the municipalities of Preshevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja). The survey in Kosovo encompassed 1119 respondents including 100 ethnic Serbs residing in Northern Kosovo. In Albania, 1100 citizens were interviewed.
