Belgrade count on coordinating position with Moscow on the Kosovo issue, reports B92, quoting Moscow daily Kommersant.

The Russian daily devoted an article to the announced visit of Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivica Dacic to Russia.

The daily says that during today's talks between Dacic and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, the main topic of the talks will be Kosovo, because the fate of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina should be clarified by the end of April.

Putin's visit to Belgrade is of political importance and should answer the question: is Serbia ready to be Moscow's key ally in the region, B92 portal reports, quoting Russian daily Kommersant.

If not, Serbia will continue its rapprochement with the EU and NATO, balancing between the West and Russia, assesses the Moscow daily.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic did not achieve the goals he set on the eve of the visit, or he did not get "approval for his version of Kosovo's recognition," said today's Moscow daily Kommersant.

The newspaper states that the Serbian president often stays in Russia, "more often than any other president," adding that Putin is quite popular in the Balkans, and that another arrival in Moscow means a rise in popularity by several percent for the Serbian president.
