Analyst Cvijetin Milivojevic told BETA news agency Russia did not change its stance on Kosovo, although an image is being created that Moscow supports an idea on delineation.

“It absolutely has no connection with the official Russian politics, that remains unchanged and Russia does not support independence of Kosovo,” Milivojevic noted.

“The new occurrence, however, is that some circles within the Serbian authorities are in fact lobbying among the part of the Russian administration in order for Russia to soften its stance. In fact, they are advocating that Russia supports that “unseen plan” Vucic has related to the delineation,” he added.

According to him, certain media in Serbia are trying to create a different picture to the Serbian public “that even Russians, and Trump and everybody else are supporting some sort of delineation, while Serbian citizens have no clue if there is some plan about delineation at all.”

Milivojevic thinks that Russia might change its stance on Kosovo, when it comes to its interest. “Fortunately, at this moment interests of Serbia and Russia on Kosovo are coherent.”

Commenting on Putin-Thaci meeting in Paris, Milivojevic said “it is logically that at such gatherings participants talk, and it can be considered as a success of the Kosovo diplomacy, and failure of the Serbin that Thaci had a seat right behind President Putin.”
