Director of the Government Office for Cooperation with the media Milivoje Mihajlovic hopes that the visit of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to Belgrade will be in favour of good neighbourly relations in the region and good relations between Serbia and Germany.

"The interest of Germany for the regional cooperation is huge and it will be the main topic. What brings Merkel, according to Western media, is to speed up the region to the EU with regional cooperation and resolving the remaining issues," said Mihajlovic in the RTS news.

Belgrade officials expect relations with Serbia's ex-province to dominate talks with Angela Merkel, while Albania hopes the German Chancellor will bless the country's recent reforms.

Relations with Kosovo are expected to dominate meetings between Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, and Serbian officials on her visit to Belgrade on July 8-9.

The British resolution on Srebrenica, "whatever it will be like," does not contribute to reconciliation at this point in time.

This is what head of the Serbian government's media office Milivoje Mihajlovic told the state broadcaster RTS on Monday.

Ahead of Tuesday's debate on the Srebrenica resolution at the UN Security Council, Mihajlovic said that "the international community, i.e. the West, was deeply involved in the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina."

The meeting between the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel and the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa in Berlin, is over. Merkel and Mustafa discussed the bilateral relations, situation in Kosovo, Kosovo’s relations with the EU as well as the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.

Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa will discuss Kosovo-Serbia relations with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin before she visits Belgrade in July.

Mustafa is due to meet Merkel in Berlin at the end of this month - the first official meeting at this level between the two.

America, Germany and Britain, the core countries of the Euro-Atlantic partnership, these days with new energy are moving into a creation of a new Balkan order.

There is no pressure on Serbia that Kosovo enters the United Nations, told Danas, Ivica Dacic, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs. He denied that there are pressures from Germany and other Western countries onto Belgrade to weaken the relationship with the Republika Srpska and to support constitutional reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Asked whether Serbia would weaken ties with Republika Srpska and support constitutional reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he said that nobody requested it of us.

The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, believes that Kosovo’s membership of the United Nations would be a sustainable solution between Belgrade and Pristina. Serbian media have reported that during her visit to Belgrade, Merkel will ask Serbian government officials not to impede Kosovo’s UN membership. Berlin’s position is that if Serbia doesn’t obstruct Kosovo’s path toward UN membership, this would not mean that Serbia is recognizing Kosovo’s independence.

In view of the current mass exodus from Kosovo, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for a fair distribution of asylum seekers within the European Union. The situation of refugees in the EU is "very unsatisfactory," Merkel said in her weekly video podcast, which was released on Saturday. Europe must "offer the refugees reasonable conditions at their place of arrival," Merkel continued. She also stressed the need to "develop a sense of fairness among the member states of the European Union" about taking in and supporting such individuals.

At a recent meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs and the economy of the region, held in Belgrade, was not officially agreed that next meeting will be held in Pristina, was said from the Cabinet of the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Johannes Hahn. According to them, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, Enver Hoxhaj only proposed that the next meeting could be held in Pristina, but that has not yet been decided.
