Independence of Kosovo

The President of Serbia said that today is not an easy task before us and that it is not the time for excessive expectations or expectations that are not in line with the reality around us.
"We will have to continue to address it responsibly with a strategic view of the future and awareness of how we want to leave the country to our descendants," he said.

Except for the Prime Minister, the Serbian delegation will also include the Minister for European Integration Jadranka Joksimovi and the Ambassador of Serbia to the EU, Ana Hrustranovi.

The address is planned for 1 p.m. in the building of the General Secretariat of the President of the Republic.

He pointed out that they did not agree with the dialogue agenda and added that he presented four proposals at the meeting.

The long-awaited resumption of dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo took place on Tuesday in Brussels, where Aleksandar Vucic and Albin Kurti had their first official meeting, but their rival interpretations of what happened highlighted the differences between the two leaders.

At a press conference in the Serbian presidency, Vucic said that at yesterday's meeting with senior US State Department official Matthew Palmer and EU special representative for dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina Miroslav Lajcak, he repeatedly reiterated that Serbia does not stand for a frozen conflict and doesn't want to " leave it to our children."

According to Gazeta Express, Athens' position on the issue of Kosovo's independence remains unchanged, i.e. that the country does not recognize Kosovo's independence.

The European Union and United States envoys for the EU-mediated dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak and Matthew Palmer, met leaders in Pristina on Monday and Tuesday in an attempt to display a concerted effort to resolve the dispute between the two countries.

Their visit comes ahead of a planned meeting between Kosovo and Serbia's leaders in mid-June.

Citing its diplomatic sources in Brussels, the Democracy portal states that Spain has already made this decision.
"Former Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell, now in charge of EU foreign policy, has played a key role in this step," Democracy quoted a "well-informed diplomat" saying.

He added that "big and important" consultations on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija will follow in the coming days.
Asked about speculations that France could take over the "lead" regarding the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Vui answered for TV Pink:
