Serbia

The Novorossiya Movement, an organisation run by notorious Russian army veteran Igor Strelkov, has given Serbian citizen Stevan Milosevic its 'Protector of Novorossiya' award for fighting on the pro-Russian separatist side in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

The list was made based on the influence of states, as well as their political, economic and military power. The list of the 80 most powerful countries in the world is based on the responses of 21.000 people and was made by the media company US News and World Report.
Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia are also on the list of 80 most powerful countries, index.hr reports.

Serbian President, who attended the opening of the Forum last night, first participates in the panel "Diplomatic Dialogue on the Western Balkans", followed by a working lunch labelled as "Generating Growth for Central and Eastern Europe".

On his twitter account, Vucic wrote that he was very grateful to O'Brien and Donald Trump's Special Envoy Richard Grenell for their role in establishing a direct Belgrade-Pristina flight.
"Serbia is ready to pursue more such initiatives, bringing people in the Balkans closer together", Vucic wrote.

Daniel Serwer, Professor at Washington State University John Hopkins also notes that citizens will benefit most from the introduction of the airline.

He added that he expected an exchange of arguments, in a civilized tone.
Asked what he expects from that meeting, Vucic says it will be an interesting meeting as well as there will be many leaders from Europe and the world.
Vucic notes that Thaci is still the legal president of temporary institutions in Pristina and adds:

Warfare between rival Montenegrin drug gangs has claimed more lives beyond the country's borders, after two members of the so-called Skaljari Clan were shot dead in Athens, Greece, on Sunday.

Serbian, Kosovo and NATO leaders on Monday welcomed the signing of an agreement to reopen the air link between Pristina and Belgrade that was broken 21 years ago.

US diplomats oversaw the signing of the agreement in Berlin, which will mean flights being operated by Lufthansa's budget carrier, Eurowings.

League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV) has called on Minister of Environment Goran Trivan to announce when the Bill on Climate Change will be presented to the Serbian Parliament.
