Belgrade-based daily Blic writes today, in an article ''EU asks Merkel to accept a deal between Belgrade and Pristina'', that European Parliament rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister has asked the German chancellor to accept a solution to the Kosovo problem that Serbia proposes.

The daily Blic is citing a source from diplomatic circles in Berlin. According to the daily, McAllister, recently met with Angela Merkel and expressed his views on this sensitive issue.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said on Wednesday that the European Union should clearly state what will happen with the Western Balkans.

Speaking after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Babis said Europe has to say where the continent will be defended from illegal migrations. “We appeal for Europe to define the Schengen area, to clearly say what will happen to the Western Balkans and where the European continent will be defended,” he told reporters after presenting his plan to combat illegal migrations.

Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic said in a meeting with delegation of German Bundestag that Serb-Albanian agreement was of crucial importance for both sides.

Vucic talked with the Deputy Chairman of the CDU/CSU faction in the German parliament, Johann Wadephul and the group's foreign affairs ​adviser Hans-Joachim Falenski about bilateral relationship, Serbia's road to EU and the situation in the region.

German Chancellor, Angela Merkel confirmed she spoke over the phone with USA President Donald Trump and one of the topics discussed was resolving the problem between Belgrade and Pristina, TV N1 reported.

According to TV N1, Merkel said that existing territories are a value and it should be taken into consideration that certain solutions do not cause consequences in other countries.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has welcomed German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying she was "against any changes of borders in the Balkans."

"All there is to be done is for the majority of the European Union to convince its five members that haven't yet recognized Kosovo and Serbia, too, to recognize it within the existing borders. The sooner that is done, the better for the region," Thaci tweeted, Beta agency reported.

Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday that "the whole western world, with exceptions, considers Kosovo as a whole, sovereign, and indivisible territory," Serbian media reports today.

This was the Serbian president's reaction to German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying a day earlier she was "against changing borders in the Balkans."

"She already did delimitation between us -  by separating the whole of Kosovo from Serbia," Vucic said, and the concept of "delimitation" with the Albanians that he has been advocating for recently.

Serbia will have no European prospects if Kosovo conflict remains frozen, President Aleksandar Vucic warned on Tuesday.

“If the Kosovo conflict remains frozen you can be sure there will be no European prospects, you can be sure investments will drop,” Vucic told Serbian reporters after his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Serbia will have Macron’s support in finding a compromise solution for Kosovo, Vucic said, adding that he is hoping for the same from German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “In that case there is some hope,” he said.

Aleksandar Vucic has told Angela Merkel he believes the Regional Economic Zone and the Nis-Pristina highway is of great importance to the Western Balkans.

The Serbian president Vucic asked the German chancellor Merkel to use her reputation and authority to speed up the realization of these two projects, Tanjug reported.

Journalist Ljiljana Smajlovic on Monday spoke for Belgrade based Television Prva (TV Prva) about the Belgrade-Pristina talks, the country's EU future, and "Trump's people"...

A permanent Kosovo solution requires agreement from Germany, France, the EU, the US, Turkey, and Russia, President Aleksandar Vucic said in Berlin on Friday.

"We are ready for a compromise, I told that to Mrs. Merkel, but for that, two sides are needed," Vucic said after his meeting with the German chancellor.

He added that in the past, he believed it was easier for Serbs and Albanians to talk to alone.
