jstl creating and closing div inside if condition in a loop xhtml

Question

I am creating div elements dynamically in my xhtml file, using a forEach loop. Every 3 iterations I need to create a div with class="row" to be the parent of 3 elements and I need to close it after 3 more iterations are complete. The following is my code:

<c:set var="count" value="1" scope="view" />
        <c:forEach items="#{BiletaBean.dsCat}" var="dsC">
            <c:if test="${count == 1}">
                <div class="row">
            </c:if>
            <div class="panel panel-primary col-lg-3" style="padding:0">
                <div class="panel-heading" style="border-bottom: 1px solid white;">
                    SOT ${dsC.BA} ${dsC.category}
                </div>
                <div class="panel-body" style="background: #337ab7; color: white;"> 
                    <div style="color: white;" class="col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-5 col-md-6 col-sm-6 clearfix">Te gjeneruara:</div><div class="col-lg-5 col-md-6 col-sm-6" style="font-size:26px" >#{dsC.generated}</div>
                    <div style="color: white; clear:left" class="col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-5 col-md-6 col-sm-6 clearfix">Te validuara:</div><div class="col-lg-5 col-md-6 col-sm-6" style="font-size:26px" >#{dsC.validated}</div>
                    <div style="color: white; clear:left" class="col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-5 col-md-6 col-sm-6 clearfix">Totali Leke:</div><div id="amount" class="col-lg-5 col-md-6 col-sm-6" style="font-size:26px" >#{dsC.totalMoney}</div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <c:if test="${count == 3}">
                </div>
            </c:if>
            <c:set var="count" value="${count + 1}" scope="view"/>
            <c:if test="${count > 3}">
                <c:set var="count" value="1" scope="view"/>
            </c:if>
        </c:forEach>
        <c:if test="${count != 1}">
            </div>
        </c:if>

However, I am getting the following error when trying to open the page in a browser:

Error Parsing /dashboard.xhtml: Error Traced[line: 55] The element type "div" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "".

I guess it is referring to the opening and it's saying that it cannot find a closing div for that one, even though I'm quite certain that every div that is opened, is also closed.

Can anyone help by telling me why am I getting that error? Can I solve it somehow? If not, can someone suggest another way to achieve what I want to do?
