World powers must back the efforts of the president of Serbia and president of Kosovo in striking a deal. This was said by the former US ambassador to Belgrade, Cameron Munter, adding the solution that would be reached between the two sides must be a win-win situation.

Commenting on a statement made by Vucic after the latest round of talks, Munter said that great powers will support the solution that will be proposed by the presidents of both countries.

“If they agree on a solution, then someone should offer support”, Munter said.

Serbia has good contacts with Washington administration and the State Department, former US Ambassador to Serbia Cameron Munter assessed.

Munter added if Serbia wishes better contact with the US President Donald Trump it should focus on the State Secretary Mike Pompeo and Trump’s foreign policy advisory John Balton.

In a statement to Tanjug news agency, Munter said Trump differs very much from his predecessors, his style is different, and he is more focused on “domestic issues rather than on classical foreign policy.”

If Serbia’s path towards the EU hits a blockage and the country shifts toward Russia and China, former president Tomislav Nikolic could conceivably stage a political resurrection.

It will be, as he says, "yet another opportunity for our position to be heard, yet another opportunity to fight for our country and our people, while respecting the other side and with the desire to reach a solution."

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic received on Friday in Belgrade Minister of Foreign Affairs of Liberia Gbehzohngar Milton Findley.

When a footballer’s boots are among the pre-match talking points it should normally be a sign that subplots are scarce: the opposite will be true when Xherdan Shaqiri walks out in Kaliningrad. The Switzerland forward will be sporting footwear that, on his right heel, displays the stitched flag of Kosovo.
