Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was too early to talk about whether Russia would provide assistance to Serbia.

First the meeting should be held by the presidents of Russia and Serbia Vladimir Putin and Aleksandar Vucic, the spokesman said in reply to Radip Govorit Moskva, which asked whether Russia will provide assistance to Serbia in connection to the latest deterioration of the situation in Kosovo.

Sputnik recalled that it was announced earlier Aleksandar Vucic intended to seek support from Vladimir Putin for resolving the situation in Kosovo and Metohija.

EU Spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic says that the policy of Brussels has not changed and that the asterix, which denotes status neutrality is used in all official documents referring to Kosovo.

"Our policy on this matter has not changed," Kocijancic told Belgrade-based news agency Tanjug.

The United Nations will support Belgrade and Pristina's deal on Kosovo, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a talk to Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic. He points out that UNMIK remains in Kosovo, and that for the UN "Kosovo is not a state", reports today Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) quoting the cabinet of the Serbian PM.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic met with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York on the eve of her address to the General Assembly.

A new term has been introduced, via the media, into the process of resolving the situation in Kosovo and Metohija - "drawing it out."

The solution to the Kosovo issue, which implies change of borders, is possible only if the EU and the UNSC agree on it, beside Belgrade and Pristina.

This has been stated by David McAllister, the rapporteur for Serbia in the European Parliament.

When asked by Tanjug about the position regarding a possible border correction as part of the solution to the Kosovo issue, he said that the EU was "aware of the possibility of exchanging territories and moving borders."

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said in New York that representatives of Oman and Uganda said their countries had never recognized Kosovo.

Dacic told RTS that he talked with ministers from Oman and Uganda - countries that are on Pristina's list of those who have recognized Kosovo as independent - during the session of the General Assembly.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Beghjet Pacolli told Prva TV there should be no borders between Kosovo and Serbia and “the ball should be moved to the economic field.”

Responding to a question, how far solution to the Kosovo issue is at the moment, Minister Pacolli said we are close, but at the same time far away.

The Insajder portal reported that the report of the Survey Committee on abuses of funds from the Serbian budget intended for Kosovo, which practically confirmed Insajder's research on the abuse of this money, has not even been included on the agenda of the Serbian Assembly for four years.

Opinions cost nothing, but it is not our opinions that matter - let's not take sides before we know what has been proposed.

Serbian Trade and Telecommunication Minister, Rasim Ljajic told Prva TV he does not expect Pristina-Belgrade agreement to be reached in the forthcoming months.

Commenting on media reports that USA President Trump praised Serbia and USA under his administration changed the attitude toward Serbia, Ljajic noted that change is evident.

“(…) That stance is reflected in one sentence, try to make an agreement, we have nothing against it, and the final assessment we will give once the agreement is reached,” Ljajic added.
