Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic will meet today Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and Patriarch Irinej to discuss the EU's draft platform for Chapter 35 on Kosovo.

According to daily Vecernje Novosti, President of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) Vladimir Kostic was also invited to attend the meeting, to be held at the Serbian Presidency building.

Kostic has said that he will not go to the meeting because he was not sure whether his presence would be beneficial at this moment, adding that the meeting would attend SANU members who were most familiar with the Kosovo issue.

Kostic, whose statement that Kosovo is lost to Serbia, says that the personal differences of opinion "cannot and must not affect the obligations of SANU towards the nation, the country, and the most important matters of the state".
