I would say Germany drew the red line how far it would go in resolving the relations between Serbia and Kosovo, while the USA has not, US Senator and Chair of the Committee for Homeland Security, Ron Johnson said in an interview for Radio Free Europe (RFE).
Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic told Tanjug news agency, Russian stance on Kosovo and Metohija is not contradictory to what Serbia is doing.
“Their position is same as ours, and it is preservation of territorial integrity of Serbia and non-recognition of Pristina’s unilateral acts. That stance is not contradicting to what we are doing,” Dacic said commenting on the statement of the Russian Ambassador in Belgrade, Alexander Chepurin who said Kosovo should return into the legal and the state field of Serbia.
Hashim Thaci says a final agreement with Belgrade would include mutual recognition, and "Kosovo's Membership in EU, NATO, and the UN.
In an interview with Beta, the Kosovo president said that the outcome of a final and binding agreement on the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia would be mutual recognition, Kosovo's membership in the EU, NATO and the UN and Serbia's progress on its EU path.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke yesterday in Belgrade with US Senator and the Chair of the US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Ron Johnson.
According to the Serbian Government, they spoke about "a European future of Serbia, the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and regional stability."

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told RTS what he said about Slobodan Milosevic in Mitrovica North on Sunday was not glorification, but a serious and responsible criticism of politics we have conducted at that time.
Vucic, added that many falsified his statement, in which he said, “Milosevic had the biggest support, he was a great leader, but the results of his rule for the Serbs were very bad.” Vucic also said “many pretended they did not hear” what he said in fact, leaving the second part of the statement out.
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.”

Serbian Minister of Interior, Nebojsa Stefanovic reacted to statement of the Kosovo Assembly Speaker, Kadri Veseli in regard to Vucic’s visit in Kosovo, Serbian media reported.
It seems unbelievable that following the visit of President Vucic in Kosovo, where he delivered messages of peace only, Kadri Veseli says President Vucic in Gazivode uttered warmongering statements, Stefanovic said.
