The Angela Merkel's foreign policy legacy is also in the play in the Kosovo-Serbia conflict and the stability of Europe and the future of the Western ally, believes Bodo Weber.

A senior associate of the Democratization Policy Council, a transatlantic research center based in Berlin, reminds Deutsche Welle (DW) that the negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia on a comprehensive agreement, launched in 2012 at the initiative of Chancellor Merkel herself, has seen a major US diplomatic offensive since the beginning of the year.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic and his German counterpart Heiko Mass discussed on Friday bilateral relations between the two countries, situation in the region and possibilities for resumption of Belgrade – Pristina dialogue, BETA news agency reported quoting the statement of the Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The two officials met on the sidelines of the foreign ministers’ meeting in Warsaw, gathered under the Berlin Process including the Western Balkans and eight EU member states. They also agreed that Minister Mass would visit Serbia, the statement concluded.

''Political stakeholders from Serbia and Kosovo do not have the courage to implement the Brussels Agreement because they are rightfully scared of their own people. They have to look for a way to establish citizens’ equality and to offer solutions to facilitate their everyday life, rather than locking them up in national corrals. They have nothing to offer for a better future to their own people, but they are using the story of ethnic delimitation to obscure their political incompetence. Germany has had a clear position from the very beginning.

The German ambassador to Serbia Thomas Schieb told N1 morning programme on Thursday that the meeting of the Western Balkans leaders in Berlin was planned at the initiative by Germany and France for quite some time, proving the region had a high priority.

Former head of the Coordination Center for Kosovo and Metohija, Nebojsa Covic told RTS he thinks there is a realistic danger of new conflicts because “Kosovo attempts to roundup its sovereignty.” According to him, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emanuel Macron want to overcome the problems in Kosovo and continue the dialogue, however that is not possible, Covic stressed.

Another motive may be hiding behind the German-French invitation to Serb and Albanian leaders to gather in Berlin under the slogan of cooperation in the region. This motive could be, according to media reports, to exert pressure on Belgrade to agree to continue the dialogue with Pristina, without Pristina abolishing its tariffs on Serbian products first.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has confirmed he would respond to the invitation by Germany and France and meet with Pristina representatives in Berlin on April 29.

Speaking in a press conference, after the meeting with Kosovo Serb political representatives Vucic said he has been invited to visit Berlin along with the Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, adding Hashim Thaci and Ramush Haradinaj are also invited.

Former head of the Coordination Centre for Kosovo and Metohija Nebojsa Covic, believes that "some evil is in store" for Serbs in northern Kosovo. In his view, Pristina authorities, with the support of their foreign mentors, are planning to "round off their sovereignty in the whole territory of Kosovo and Metohija."

The battle for supremacy over Europe is being fought between Germany and the US, and it could be decided in Kosovo, Belgrade based daily Blic writes on Friday.

For Germany, Kosovo is an independent state and there is no further discussion about border change, Blic says, and reminds that German parliamentarians Peter Beyer and Christian Schmitd conveyed this message to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic two days ago.

After the Embassy of Great Britain issued a statement advising its citizens not to travel to the north of Kosovo due to the crime there, Germany did a similar thing, Tanjug news agency reported.

Namely, German Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning to its citizens not to travel to the northern municipalities of Zubin Potok, Leposavic, Zvecan and Mitrovica North because “situation there is still tense.”
