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."
Serbia does not want to unify with the Republika Srpska (RS), the Belgrade-based daily Danas says was told by President Aleksandar Vucic's cabinet.
Vucic's cabinet said this when asked about RS President Milorad Dodik's map, drawn during his interview for DW, which showed his vision of the map of the Western Balkans.
In it, the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina joins Serbia, together with the north of a partitioned Kosovo.
Second roundtable within the internal dialogue on Kosovo would be held today at the Palace of Serbia, announced the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo, Insajder portal reports.
Director of the Office for Kosovo, Marko Djuric, Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Mladen Sarcevic and Secretary General of the Serbian Presidency, Nikola Selakovic would attend the roundtable.
Ruling SNS party leader and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic "does not share the majority opinion in the SNS on (early parliamentary) elections."
This is what SNS official and Serbian Presidency's Secretary General, Nikola Selakovic has told RTS.
According to Selakovic, Vucic will "think hard" and then present his stance on the issue "in ten days to two weeks' time".
"Knowing him, it will not be in the interest of the SNS, but in the interest of Serbia, the state, and the people," said Selakovic.
Obtaining legitimacy and wider citizens’ support for resolution of the Kosovo issue, governing Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and its coalition partners could use as a reason to call for extraordinary parliamentary elections, Danas daily reports.
Such conclusion could be made based on the earlier explanations the government provided to the president, and based on that he would call for the extraordinary elections.
Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), Ivica Dacic said he expects extraordinary parliamentary elections to be called at the same time when Belgrade local elections would take place, Danas daily reported.
“I do expect (it). Knowing Vucic I expect (it),” Dacic told RTS.
Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia takes the side of Spain, and that despite important differences in declarations of independence of Catalonia and Kosovo, Serbia has to face reality and look into future, FoNet news agency reported.
Vucic also said Kosovo is twice worse case than Catalonia.
Serbian President and leader of the ruling SNS Aleksandar Vucic will on November 1 meet with his closest associates, it has been confirmed.

"Relations with big powers" will be another topic on the agenda, Vucic's close associates confirmed for TV Prva late on Thursday.
