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.
There will not be border corrections or the territory swap between Kosovo and Serbia because that would leave the unforeseen consequences, Bodo Weber, a German analyst, has said, the KoSSev website reported.

The Serbian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that Minister of Defense Aleksandar Vulin assessed that ''Pristina’s politician Kadri Veseli's statement that Nis belongs historically to self-proclaimed Kosovo, and that he will conquer it, represented a call for war and new conflicts'', and urged the EU to declare on that occasion, reports Belgrade based daily Blic.
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."
The head of the MIA's Department for International Cooperation Zoran Lazarov denied media reports that Serbia and the EU signed an agreement on the deployment of members of the European Border Guard and Coast Guard (Frontex) on the borders of Serbia. European Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn is not aware also about the alleged spread of Frontex to the borders of the Western Balkans, reports reginal broadcaster N1.

The European Union has to take a united stand on the Western Balks or others will shape its neighbourhood, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned on Wednesday.

During the visit of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo, journalists passed the worst, as three press teams from Serbia were the target of the attacks, that is, the incidents, writes Belgrade based daily Danas and quotes the statement by Deutsche Welle (DW) journalist, Sanja Kljajic, who said that it all seemed like journalists were accounted for in advance as collateral damage.
The speech Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic held over the weekend in Kosovo triggered fierce reactions among politicians in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who assessed it as “shameful” and “scandalous.”
During his two-day visit to Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic addressed the Serb community inhabiting the Serb-dominated northern part of the divided town of Mitrovica.
Negotiations in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue must continue in order to achieve "a comprehensive normalization of relations, based on mutual consent and international law, which will be realistic and sustainable," spokeswoman for the European Commission Maja Kocijancic said in Brussels to reporters.
Spokeswoman of the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini added that there was a series of contacts with the presidents of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, on all open issues.
