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.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic late on Tuesday spoke about possible solutions for Kosovo, but also about expectations from the upcoming meetings in Rome, and in Tirana. Vucic was a guest at the Serbian public broadcaster RTS show “Upitnik” where he spoke about solutions for Kosovo after the Berlin summit, noting that he does not want to deceive his people by speaking badly about Haradinaj and Thaci.

It is important to become a part of the EU, but what's more important is to survive and secure a safe future for our children, and for this we need friends.

President Aleksandar Vucic wrote this in an op-ed published by the Belgrade based daily Kurir.

Journalist and sociologist Zoran Panovic told N1, referring to yesterday's Brussels summit, that it turned out pompous, and hollow - with a lot of phrases. Obviously, the pressure was there, Panovic said.

"Great" powers want to deal with the Western Balkans now, according to a South East Europe expert from the University of Graz.

"Both German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, who have not always been united in their policy towards the Balkans, now want to be on same side of the rope and put under control the failed EU negotiations," Bieber said on the occasion of the upcoming conference in Berlin.

President Aleksandar Vucic says Serbia has been offered nothing resembling "dual sovereignty" over the north of Kosovo.

Therefore, nothing of the kind will happen in Berlin, Vucic told a news conference on Thursday. The meeting will take place at the end of April, dedicated to Kosovo and organized by Germany and France.

"Shared sovereignty is always something that is a problematic legal category, while the so-called dual sovereignty - I don't know what that means. But nobody told me that, nobody offered us that, and something like that will not happen in Berlin," he said.

Correspondent of the Belgrade based news agency Beta from Brussels, Dragan Blagojevic told N1 that the international dimension of the Kosovo problem is reflected in the internal plan - elections.

"Obviously, this is double-tied, as merged vessels. I see the postponement of the decision on elections in function, among other things, not only of internal politics, but it is obvious that Kosovo had a specific weight," Blagojevic says.

The Serbian President and leader of the ruling SNS party told a party gathering in Belgrade that he would face a request to recognize a full independence of Kosovo, without divisions and "full and integral territory of an independent Kosovo," Serbian media reported.

He said he would speak with the presidents of China and Russia in Beijing and then head to Berlin for very difficult meetings with the leaders of France and Germany.

Blic daily writes that Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) leader and President Aleksandar Vucic will decide on the date of parliamentary elections in Serbia after important meetings abroad. According to the article, Vucic has spoken with his closest associates to tell them he would not accept any ultimatums of the opposition.

The newspaper added that Vucic addressed a video conference with presidents of 25 districts and eight city boards (of his party) in Belgrade and sent them a message ahead of a large SNS rally on Friday in the Serbian capital.
