Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti reports today on the visit of President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic to Moscow and his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The daily writes that the Russian Federation and Putin personally will continue to strongly support the territorial integrity of Serbia and its diplomatic fight for Kosovo in all international institutions, including the UN, while at the same time encouraging the position of military neutrality and autonomy in Serbia's decision-making.

After the denial of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic yesterday from Moscow on the alleged lobbying activities of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on behalf of Serbia for ethnic delimitation between Serbia and Kosovo, the denials came from Blair’s Institute for Global Change.

Secretary General of the Serbian President, Nikola Selakovic, thanked Moscow for the readiness to "call things with the real name", and on the Russian Foreign Ministry's condemnation of the passive behaviour of international forces in Kosovo.

Selakovic told the morning RTS News that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has accustomed public to regular meetings with the highest international officials, which before was not the case, adding that it is rare among other Western Balkan leaders.

President Aleksandar Vucic will speak in the Kremlin on October 2 with Russia's President Vladimir Putin, Beta has been told by diplomatic sources in Moscow.

The topics of their discussion have not been announced.
According to announcements coming from the Kremlin, Putin and Vucic will not address journalists after the talks.

Vucic's previous meeting with Putin was during a two-day visit to Moscow in May, when he attended Victory Day celebrations.

A new term has been introduced, via the media, into the process of resolving the situation in Kosovo and Metohija - "drawing it out."

Sociologist Dario Hajric, assessing a part of Aleksandar Vucic's speech at the SNS Main Committee on Kosovo, said that he (Vucic) prepares the ground for a new initiative to be taken, regional broadcaster N1 reports.

He adds that there will probably be a turning point in Kosovo's politics, but he thinks that this will not happen behind the scenes.

"Statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, that the views of Russia and Serbia on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija are identical, is a naked lie," says the People's Movement of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, portal Vesti reported.

People's Party Vice President Sinisa Kovacevic signed a petition "One signature changes everything" and pointed out that the solution to the issue of Kosovo should be sought in an agreement of some future, wiser and more responsible Serbian and Albanian politicians, without international interference, reported Serbian national broadcaster RTS.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is not going to the annual session of the United Nations General Assembly next week, instead Prime Minister Ana Brnabic will go to New York, finds out Belgrade-based daily Danas from the circles close to the top state authorities.

Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Tuesday that Serbia would not first accept the independence of Kosovo and then negotiate with Pristina, adding "that’s for sure," the Beta news agency reported.

After meeting his Cape Verde’s counterpart Luis Filipe Taveras in Belgrade, Ivica Dacic told reporters that "unilaterally declared independence (of Kosovo) was an illegal act."

"Our stand is that we don’t recognise Kosovo, an illegal creation."
