The US special envoy to the stalled Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Richard Grenell, said on Twitter on Friday that a meeting between Kosovo and Serbia would take place in Washington on September 2.

"We are happy to announce that the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia will meet at the White House for a negotiation on September 2″, Grenell tweeted without providing further details.

Deputies of the Self-Determination movement Vetvendosje and deputies of the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo did not vote today for the Draft Law on Protection of KLA War Values, Kosovo online reports.
Only 35 deputies voted in favor of the law, while one was against.

He assessed the meeting on all important national topics as good.

Kon told RTS that the numbers still show that we have no "zero" situation anywhere.
He pointed out that the creation of collective immunity without vaccination would take several years, so much is expected from the vaccine.
"Miracle is expected from a vaccine, and miracles generally don't happen", Kon pointed out.

What explains this shift, from being the region that initially had among the fewest cases in Europe, to a surge?

Some country-specific reasons might explain individual cases, such as recent elections in Serbia and North Macedonia, or the government crisis in Kosovo, or protests in Montenegro and Serbia. However, none provides an overarching regional perspective.

Epidemiologists Dr Darija Kisi Tepavevi, Dr Predrag Kon and Minister of Education Mladen arevi are speaking at the conference.
18.965 people have been cured so far, Kisi Tepavevi pointed out, announcing the latest results. The largest number of infected people is in Belgrade, and an increase can be seen in Kikinda.

Several thousand residents of a small border town in Serbia had to spend almost a month in self-isolation because they had bought petrol over the border in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and so were classed as having re-entered the country from abroad.

Vucic said that this is important for Valjevo, Lajkovac, Mionica, but also the entire Kolubara district.
He stated that by the end of 2022, it is realistic to complete the works on the road and watercourses.

Richard Grenell, the Special Envoy of the President of the USA for Kosovo and Metohija, obviously has a feeling that there is a possibility to reach at least an agreement on economic cooperation, Sputnik reports.
