German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emanuel Macron wanted to give a new impetus to the process of normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, Podgorica-based daily Pobjeda reports referring to the statement from Merkel’s cabinet.

Responding to a question whether the direct involvement of Germany and France in resolving the Kosovo issue means that these countries were not content with the EU’s effect, the spokesperson of the Federal Government said that both Germany and France support continuation of a dialogue.

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emanuel Macron expressed full support to the dialogue on normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo. They want to give a new impetus to the process that is taking place under the EU’s auspices,” Pobjeda daily reported.
