A new term has been introduced, via the media, into the process of resolving the situation in Kosovo and Metohija - "drawing it out."

In some interpretations, a synonym was used - "drag out" - all while referring to the deadline for reaching an agreement between Belgrade and Pristina.
After assuming the office of president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic announced that his main goal was to solve the "Kosovo knot." In this light, talks under the auspices of Brussels had been intensified, and in recent months things seemed to have entered the "home stretch. "

The Serbian leader even announced his "first big address to the people" - but then the latter events, at least as far as the masses can see, moved the negotiating sides farther apart and brought the situation almost to a deadlock.
