The announcement this week of the launch of flights between Belgrade and Pristina operated by Lufthansa caused much more attention than a regular announcement regarding the opening of a new airline route. Not surprising given that it took seeming mediation by US diplomats to facilitate the restoration of flights.

American Balkans expert and a former advisor and supporter of Joseph Biden, Michael Carpenter, said in an interview with the Serbian Telegraph that Washington would accept any solution agreed by Serbs and Albanians. He also points out that there are no red lines on this issue - everything is up to Belgrade and Pristina.

"He lived and died with his wish to testify," Gjyle Deliu, his daughter-in-law, told BIRN at her house in Rezalle.

It is a document signed in Berlin on the establishment of the Belgrade-Pristina airline.
Pristina portal claims that it allegedly possesses a complete document in relation to what the two parties published as a "letter of intent" as separate documents, specifying what the two parties individually had undertaken to deliver in order to restore airline.

The new route would considerably cut travel time between Belgrade and Pristina, with the bus between the two cities currently taking around six hours.
