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.

Political analyst Dragomir Andjelkovic believes there is a room to make an agreement about the territorial division of Kosovo, as a solution in the future, but only if this issue is linked to the status of Republika Srpska, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tanjug news agency reported.
