Bundestag

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian Directorate for Cooperation with the Diaspora and Serbs in the Region Arnaud Gouillon met with Bundestag member Zaklin Nastic in Belgrade on Thursday to discuss the situation in Kosovo-Metohija and present the latest developments in Serbia's southern province and Belgrade's views on the issue.

BELGRADE - Whenever Germany showed concern for Serbia, that did not end well, Republika Srpska Senator Aleksandar Vulin, who was until recently head of Serbia's Security Information Agency, said on Tuesday, noting that Germany's concern had never been about Serbia's well-being.

Petr Bystron, who is also a member of the Bundestag, stated in an interview for Russia Today Balkan that the bombing of the FR Yugoslavia in 1999 was a violation of international law and a sin, as well as that this illegal war led to the violent secession of a part of the sovereign country, the former Yugoslavia.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with Bundestag member Peter Beyer on Thursday to discuss Serbia-Germany economic cooperation and Serbia's EU accession path.

"The partnership with Germany is of the greatest significance for Serbia," Vucic wrote in a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram profile that also included a photo from the meeting.

Angela Merkel took another step towards resigning from politics today after receiving an official document for her dismissal from the post of chancellor, where she spent 16 years, the Associated Press reported.

Merkel attended today the first session of the new German parliament, but sat in the gallery for VIP guests. Merkel was elected to the Bundestag 31 years ago.

Four years has been far too long without the liberals in the Bundestag. Nevertheless, it proved enough time for the Free Democratic Party (FDP) to restart the party, renew its social contract and allow new, dynamic members to emerge and convey the liberal message across Germany and the whole of Europe. One exemplary case is Grigorios Aggelidis, a member of the Bundestag from Hannover.

This will happen since it received a letter from the Secretariat of the Venice Commission stating that they agree with the constitutional amendments made by the Ministry of Justice.

They wrote about the outcome of the recent general elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina, expressing deep concern over the fact that the Croat representative (Zeljko Komsic) in the BiH Presidency were elected by Bosniaks (Muslims), while the vast majority of Croats voted for another candidate.

Vucic talked with the Deputy Chairman of the CDU/CSU faction in the German parliament, Johann Wadephul and the group's foreign affairs ​adviser Hans-Joachim Falenski about bilateral relationship, Serbia's road to EU and the situation in the region.

The German government has said it does not expect to see Turkish security agents accused of attacking protesters in Washington during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to the upcoming G-20 summit in Hamburg, which will be held on July 7 and July 8.
