The EU sees a letter that the US President Donald Trump has sent to presidents Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci as a sign of support and encouragement to the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, Tanjug news agency reports.
This was said by EU Spokesperson Maja Kocijancic.
“We see this letter as a sign of support and encouragement by the USA to the dialogue that is held under the EU’s auspices,” Kocijancic said.
Letter of Donald Trump sent to Hashim Thaci unequivocally shows there is a secret diplomacy held behind the scenes, leading towards resolution of the Kosovo issue, BETA news agency reports.
These remarks were made by the leader of Peoples’ Party Vuk Jeremic.
“If anyone had any dilemma whether it is true that things behind the scenes are being hastily brought to an end, this letter casts all doubts away,” Jeremic wrote on Twitter.
According to the Belgrade press, in a brief conversation with Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, US President Donald Trump has referred to the Serbs as "good people."
Namely, Brnabic thanked the US president for the changing of the stance of the current administration in Washington toward Serbia, and for understanding the position of our country on the issue of Kosovo, and, according to media reports, he replied by saying that "Serbs are good people."
Pristina should stop provoking the Serb people and Serbia, as Albanians in Kosovo are no longer in a position to threaten anyone, says Ivica Dacic.
The Serbian foreign minister and first deputy PM told RTS on Wednesday that yesterday's arrest of five Serbs in Kosovo was a hostile act that does not contribute creating a positive atmosphere for dialogue.
US President Donald Trump could visit Serbia at the earliest by the end of the year or early next spring, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has said.

According to him, this visit would be of great importance to Belgrade.
