Serbian leader Aleksandar Vucic will meet Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss how to push forward a deal with Kosovo after a plan to rework their borders faced international resistance.
Vucic is seeking broad international support from the European Union and the U.S. to mend relations with Kosovo — a precondition for both neighbors in their aspirations to join the EU in the next decade. Vucic’s proposal for a deal that would allow ethnic Serbs and ethnic Albanians to live where their kin form majorities in a possible land swap, was rejected by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other EU leaders fearing it may re-ignite tensions that led to Europe’s bloodiest conflict since World War II.
