Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic and US Ambassador to Belgrade Kyle Scott agreed on Tuesday that bilateral relations were "on an upward trajectory."

This is resulting in greater interest among US companies in investing in Serbia, they said, and cited as an example Tuesday's signing of an agreement on the expansion of operations of US company NCR on the Serbian market, the government announced.

Prime Minister of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić says for TV Happy that he does not think that US today is directly against the formation of the army of Kosovo but they think that the moment was not good.

He said that the reaction of the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was different, and that he was sharper on the issue of the formation of the army.

"These are nuances, but we need to care of them. He was sharper on this issue and I thank him for that," said Vučić in TV Happy.

The government of Kosovo has issued a press release saying that it will review the draft law on Kosovo Security Force (KSF) transformation as soon as it receives it from the Assembly and make sure it is in line with the Constitution of Kosovo. The press release states that the draft law was proposed by President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, but that Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, was informed on the initiative on 5 March before Thaci announced it during a visit to KSF barracks.

"Washington’s policy in the Balkans never made much sense," as the US "wanted to keep some nations together and dismantle others."

This is what international politics contributor for the Forbes, Doug Bandow, wrote for the media outlet's website, under the headline: "Bungled Intervention In Kosovo Risks Unraveling: A New Deal Needed For Peace".

Northern Kosovo is the latest place where people are making satirical YouTube videos about US President Donald Trump’s slogan “America first”.

“America first, but North Kosovo ahead of Kosovo,” is the slogan of a new satirical video made in the northern, Serb-run part of Kosovo - playing on US President Donald Trump's election slogan of "America First".

“We have two governments, both claim the right to possess us, yet no one really cares about us,” the video, meaning Serbia and Kosovo.

United States of America have the largest and most expansive program of foreign aid in the world, with an annual budget of up to $ 50 billion.

More than 18 billion of the budget goes for the economic development, often called the humanitarian aid, while $ 8.1 billion goes for the help to strengthen the security.

Kosovo is the largest recipient of US aid in the Balkans. In 2016 this aid amounted to 30 million dollars.

Simić met with the US two-party delegation of Congressmen in the Kosovo parliament, who arrived in a two-day official visit to Kosovo.

He said to a group of congressmen that the Serbian List continues with the political protests of non-participation in Kosovo's institutions.

Washington’s policy in the Balkans never made much sense. The U.S. wanted to keep some nations together and dismantle others. American officials deplored ethnic cleansing in some cases and ignored other instances.

The only principle which explained Washington’s actions was that the Serbs always lose. With Kosovo and Serbia now shouting threats of war, it’s time for the U.S. and Europe to take a more even-handed approach.

Russia will not recognize Kosovo - Moscow does not and never will barter with Serbia's territorial integrity, say Russian experts.

Sputnik is reporting that this reaction came in the wake of claims made by western analysts that "Russia could recognize Kosovo in order to reach a deal with the US."

Russian experts say that such statements look like an attempt of their Western counterparts to "drive a wedge" between Russia and Serbia.

The Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, that started in 2013 with the signing of the Brussels agreement, is still far from over, and will continue this year as well.

Experts assess that the Trump administration could ease the pressure on Belgrade.

Monarchies, socialist, one party-states, the war-time 1990s, followed by two decades of transition, have not brought Serbs and Albanians closer together over the past 100 years.
