Professor and expert for the Balkans Daniel Serwer, in an interview with the Belgrade weekly NIN, says that Vucic threatens with Russia and loses the direction in normalizing relations with Kosovo, as well as that it seems to him that the President of Serbia chooses the wrong chair.
Only a blind person could believe that problems in the Balkans are over, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said late on Tuesday.
The regional conflict will last until the cause of those problems have been found - if you sweep all the problems under the carpet, you will trip over that carpet, Dacic told a talk show broadcast on TV Happy.
Haradinaj says that all issues that have so far been part of the dialogue in Brussels have no weight, because the main question between Kosovo and Serbia has not been resolved, and that is Kosovo's recognition by Serbia.
Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj was a guest in TV Show "Slobodno Srpski" on Sunday night; among the reasons is the first 100 days of the government that he is in charge.
Jadranka Joksimovic says that "inviting global powers" to join the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue represents "a reflection of provincialism."
"I'm sorry to hear that the Atlantic Council thinks the US and Serbia have had such bad relations until now, that a historic reconciliation needs to occur," the Serbian minister for EU Integration also said on Wednesday, adding:
The Atlantic Council will publish a report on the new US strategy for the Balkans.
According to Voice of America, it proposes establishing a permanent US military presence in Southeast Europe, advocates for "historic reconciliation" with Serbia and renewal of the reputation of the United States as a true mediator.
Belgrade based daily Blic writes today that the announcement over the possible engagement of the US in in the negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina is merely intended for the Kosovo public.
We are working very closely with the United States in the Western Balkans, Maja Kocijancic, a spokeswoman for the European Union, told b92.net on Tuesday.
According to her, this also applies to "the question of (Belgrade-Pristina) dialogue on the normalization of relations."
Russian and Chinese ambassadors spoke in favor of continuing the UNMIK mission in Kosovo, during Tuesday's UN Security Council session dedicated to its work.
At the same time, representatives of France, Great Britain and the United States called for it be abolished.
Russia's Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said Moscow disagrees with the "very optimistic assessment" presented during the meeting by the Kosovo ambassador to the United States.
Voice of America (VOA) in Serbian language writes that two weeks after the visit of the High State Department official Hoyt Bryan Yee to Belgrade - his encounters and messages are still being talked about. Especially one that Serbia should not sit on two chairs. The American diplomat explained at a gathering on the Balkans, held in Washington, what he meant when he said that, Voice of America reports.
Recent statements made by US State Department official Brian Hoyt Yee are "his views, that have not been not harmonized with the EU".
This is what EU sources in Brussels told Beta on Tuesday.
Yee was in Belgrade in late October when he said that that Serbia will not progress on its path toward the EU unless it gives up its ties with Russia.
