Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic and US Ambassador to Belgrade Kyle Scott agreed on Tuesday that bilateral relations were "on an upward trajectory."
This is resulting in greater interest among US companies in investing in Serbia, they said, and cited as an example Tuesday's signing of an agreement on the expansion of operations of US company NCR on the Serbian market, the government announced.
French presidential candidate Francois Fillon mentioned the issue of Kosovo when he spoke about Crimea joining Russia.
“We have changed borders ourselves. Kosovo, for example. We think that because we are westerners everything is allowed to us - we can enter Iraq, we can bring order to any corner of the world... There is a fundamental principle of the right of people to decide for themselves. There are borders that have been established in a way, unacceptable for people,” Fillon said.
Kosovo President Hashim Thaci says that Pristina has not yet reached a decision with regard to the elections for the president of Serbia.
And although the Kosovo institutions have not yet taken a position on the holding of the Serbian presidential elections in Kosovo, the OSCE have confirmed their readiness to provide technical help to implement them.
As much as 58 pct of Kosovo's territory - including state, private and "socially" and church-owned real estate - is the property of Serbia.
It belongs to the state, its citizens and institutions, and the state has the original cadastre documentation to prove this, Tanjug is reporting, citing former head of the Kosovo and Metohija Cadastre Slavica Radomirovic.
On the eve of the anniversary of the start of mass riots in Kosovo targeting Serbs, Hashim Thaci claimed that he "felt ashamed" because of those events.
"Then, in 2004, what least should have happened, happened to Kosovo. Something happened that led to Kosovo embarrassing itself," said Thaci, who is now Kosovo's president, and added:
The first class in schools across Serbia today was dedicated to the March 17, 2004 anti-Serb violence in Kosovo, known in Serbia as "the March pogrom."
On the anniversary of the start of the riots, ministers of education and labor Mladen Sarcevic and Aleksandar Vulin visited the Petar Petrovic Njegos elementary in Belgrade and spoke with eighth grade students there.
Croatian media are reporting about a dinner organized in Sarajevo, stressing the tension at the table because of Aleksandar Vucic and Isa Mustafa.
"Fierce quarrel in Sarajevo, Vucic attacks Kosovo prime minister in restaurant - Dinner on verge of incident: 'Why are you plundering Serb property?'," is the headline in the Jutarnji List daily.
The Serbian government has appointed Ljubomir Maric as assistant director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Tanjug learned from this Office.
Maric will deal with issues related to the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo, and with coordination of local self-governments in Kosovo.
