EU Enlargement Negotiations Commissioner, Johannes Hahn said both presidents, Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci are aware of limitations in correction of borders idea, Serbian media reported.

In an interview to DW, Hahn said it is too early to say what the stance of the European Commission on exchange of territories would be and that negotiations should be left to Vucic and Thaci,

“They are fully aware of the limitations this idea brings, after it became public, not only when it comes to their citizens, but also the international community,” Hahn said.

The head of the MIA's Department for International Cooperation Zoran Lazarov denied media reports that Serbia and the EU signed an agreement on the deployment of members of the European Border Guard and Coast Guard (Frontex) on the borders of Serbia. European Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn is not aware also about the alleged spread of Frontex to the borders of the Western Balkans, reports reginal broadcaster N1.

EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn says that within the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, "territorial exchange" or "border correction" is not excluded as "the final part of the puzzle", reports Radio television of Serbia, quoting the FYROM's news agency MIA.

France, like Germany, is against the "delimitation" between Belgrade and Pristina, reports today Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.

Vecernje Novosti sources point out that the opposition was expressed to any change in borders or administrative lines in the region during a conference of ambassadors held last week, which was attended by French President Emmanuel Macron. Paris's position is even tougher than Berlin's position, the daily reports.

EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn did not directly reply to RFE's question regarding the idea of "delimitation" to solve the Kosovo issue.

B92 reported, quoting RFE, that he stressed that in order to resolve any bilateral conflict, any possible solution must contribute to the wider stability of the region and should  not be at the expense of others in the region.

The European Union Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn said on Friday that there was some progress in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, but that it still was not the time to speak about the details, the Beta news agency reported.

He added that any agreement which Belgrade and Pristina reached should contribute to peace and stability in the Western Balkans.

Serbian media reported yesterday that Albania would be hosting an informal meeting of the heads of the Western Balkan governments, citing a statement of the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's cabinet.

The cabinet's statement reads that the topic of the meeting will be "regional economic integration", the development of a common vision for EU accession, implementation of the regional economic zone and other issues.

European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn said on Monday the European Union would not accept new members who have open issues with neighbours, TV N1 reported.

Hahn told the European Parliament’s Foreign Policy Committee progress in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue is important and added that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is doing a brave job in the dialogue on normalization of Serbia-Kosovo relations.

European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy, Johannes Hahn said in an interview to Vienna-based daily “Kurir” that 2025 represents a tentative date for the accession of new members to the EU, and Serbia can be part of it only if it swiftly implements decisive reforms and obligatory and permanently normalizes relations toward Kosovo, RTS reports.

EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn says 2025 is "a realistic goal for a new wave of (EU) enlargement.)

Serbia and Montenegro have currently "progressed the farthest" toward that goal - but that does not mean that the two countries will definitely be the first to "cross the finish line," Hahn told Austria's APA agency.

"There is still much to do," he said.
