BRUSSELS, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Serb and Kosovo Albanian officials agreed on Sunday on a new round of talks later this month to try to break a deadlock over the future of the breakaway Serb province, international mediators said.

A statement released by the so-called troika of European, U.S. and Russian mediators after a Brussels meeting said the two sides had presented their proposals on Kosovo's future status but it made no mention of any progress in negotiations.

"The troika will next meet with the parties in Vienna on October 22, followed by an intensive schedule of face-to-face meetings in the following weeks," the statement said of negotiations due to end by Dec. 10.
