Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said in Belgrade yesterday that the abolition of Kosovo's tariffs on goods from Serbia was “a minimum of the minimum" for continuing talks with Pristina.
She added that she did not expect much from the upcoming meeting in Berlin.
A meeting of President Aleksandar Vucic with representatives of the Kosovo Serbs was held in the Palace of Serbia. After the meeting, Vucic said in a press conference that he advised them to wait for talks in Berlin, where he will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, reports Belgrade based news agency Beta.
"Apart from everything else, Pristina is doing some other things. They want to revoke the right of Serbs to an opinion," Vucic said.
Serbia should use the maneuvering space that Washington opened with the arrival of the Donald Tramp administration, and find a different solution than what the Germans, the British and the Albanians want, says the chairman of the Assembly's Committee for KiM, Milovan Drecun to Belgrade based TV Pink.
Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic rejects the possibility of resolving the Kosovo issue by the "two Germany" model that was recently mentioned, and in 2007 proposed by German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger, reports Serbian media.
Dacic says that the plan, which was recently talked about, cannot be applied because the two Germanys were internationally recognized states before the unification, while this model in the case of Kosovo means to dismantle and divide Serbia.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that the representatives of the Kosovo Serbs, both from the south and from the north, asked from him
to leave all the Kosovo institutions and added that he asked them to wait for an answer for a maximum of 45 days, in order to have the opportunity to speak with the Chinese President and other world leaders.
The European Parliament (EP) delegation headed by David McAllister, the Rapporteur for Serbia, will spend four days in Belgrade and Pristina to assess the political situation and the European Union relations with Kosovo and Serbia, the Beta news agency reported on Wednesday.
The Rapporteur for Kosovo, Slovenian MEP Igor Soltes, will also be in the EP delegation during its visit from Wednesday to March 2.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told TV Pink in Davos, on the occasion of the request of Albanian councillors to unite the northern and southern parts of Mitrovica and the support given by Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, that this will not happen.
Vucic told Belgrade based TV Pink that he does not understand "neither what Thaci does, nor Ramush Haradinaj."
