The meeting started at 8:00 a.m. in the building of the General Secretariat, according to the Office for Media Relations of the President of the Republic of Serbia.

President Aleksandar Vucic told media on Monday evening that representatives of the EU and US told him that if Serbia does not accept the so-called Franco-German proposal for future relations with Kosovo, its European Union integration process will be halted and investments will be blocked.

As a reminder, the prime minister-designate Ana Brnabi presented an expos in front of MPs and announced the list of candidate ministers, for the members of the parliament to vote on their election.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Tuesday gave Hollywood star Johnny Depp a gold medal for "outstanding merits in public and cultural activities, especially in the field of film art and the promotion of the Republic of Serbia in the world".

He pointed out that some requests were rejected by the delegation of MEPs, because, as he points out, they were unrealistic. Dacic assessed that "everyone" realized that it was a mistake to boycott the parliamentary elections in June last year.

Serbia's Commissioner for Information of Public Importance has ordered the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade to review BIRN's request for information on the death of lawyer Vladimir Cvijan, a former associate of the two Serbian presidents.

Cvijan was found dead three years ago, but the public was only notified about his death in March this year.

He emphasized that precisely because of that, he believes that the graffiti of hatred and threats addressed to the former president of Serbia and the president of the SDS, Boris Tadic, are absolutely inadmissible.

"We will see each other in some new movie," Boris Tadic said in May 2012 after losing the presidential race to Tomislav Nikolic, one of the founders of today's ruling Serbian Progressive Party, SNS.

Congratulating another state on its statehood day while in the same breath negating its perceived statehood - by calling on it to recognize a polity that broke away from that state against its (continuing) firm wishes - is bizarre, to say the least.

Scott points out that this phenomenon is most common when it comes to reporting on Russia compared to the United States.
