It is certainly good that President of Serbia talks about facing reality, but Vucic and his associates would have to do much more to convince people they are honest when they talk about some historic reconciliation with Kosovo and Albanians, stated Agron Bajrami, Editor-in-Chief of Koha Ditore to Danas daily.

According to Bajrami, there were many who spoke before Vucic that Serbia must face Kosovo reality, there are Serbs who say it would be the best for all, if Serbia recognizes the independence of Kosovo and try to build some new relations with the both, Kosovo and Serbia.

Former USA Ambassador to Serbia, Cameron Munter and the President of the East-West Institute, stated to Tanjug news agency that the initiation of an internal dialogue on Kosovo is an excellent initiative and expressed hope it would be successful.

“This is a very welcome decision. I think Serbia and Kosovo are ready to talk about the future within the EU, not only leadership but ordinary people as well.”

Munter stated that the East-West Institute, wants to help in this process, and they are opening a regional office in Belgrade.

Leader of the Civic Initiative Freedom, Democracy, Justice (GI SDP) Oliver Ivanovic thinks President Aleksandar Vucic's idea to "restore the dialogue on Kosovo" is "good."

Ivanovic stated that this was "the most important issue for all Serbs, no matter where they live."

"Engaging in forming a common stance that would survive an election cycle would be very important, although I think that this is a rather difficult mission," Ivanovic said.

Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo, Marko Djuric stated that the Belgrade-Pristina agreement is possible only if both sides are equally satisfied or dissatisfied with it.

Djuric stated this to Pink TV adding Belgrade wants an agreement with Pristina, but not in a way that would fulfil their national interests only, in particular “their dreams about independence.”

“Every agreement must take into consideration both the Serb and Albanian interests. We can agree if both sides are equaliy satisfied or dissatisfied,” Djuric said.

In what it seems to be the first international reaction on Serbia's internal dialogue on Kosovo and reaction of the Kosovo Foreign Minister to it, Swedish diplomat Carl Bildt assessed as “interesting” an invitation of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic for a wider social dialogue on Kosovo, asking in his Twitter post is it about a new realism in shaping relations between Serbia and Kosovo?

In an exclusive article published yesterday by Blic daily, President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic invited citizens to the internal dialogue on Kosovo.

Commenting on the article and Vucic’s invitation, the leader of the New Party, Zoran Zivkovic said that Vucic would first need to take a stance on Kosovo, which he kept changing over the last 15 years and over the last 15 days as well, Fonet and Danas daily reported.

Kosovo's Foreign Minister, a former president and others have welcomed Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's call for a new spirit of 'realism' on the issue of Kosovo.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Enver Hoxhaj said that Serbian President's Aleksandar Vucic's plan to resolve relations between Belgrade and Pristina, would be a welcome turn in Serbia’s policy towards his country.

We managed to prevent legalization of a unilateral secession of the part of our territory through Kosovo membership in the most international organizations, stated Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, Tanjug and RTS reported today.

A permanent solution for Kosovo is a prerequisite for Serbia’s progress, Dacic said, adding he fully supports Aleksandar Vucic’s proposal on the internal dialogue on Kosovo.

According to Dacic, Belgrade is ready to talk about permanent solution, respecting the legitimate interests of the Serb and Albanian people.

Oliver Ivanovic, leader of the Civic Initiative Freedom, Democracy, Justice (GISDP) commented on statements Hashim Thaci made yesterday saying that “historic agreement” would be reached between Serbia and Kosovo “by recognizing reality.” Ivanovic called these remarks nice phrases, typical for the Albanian side, Serbian media reported.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci in an interview to Tanjug stated he believes a historic agreement on normalization of relations and reconciliation between Kosovo and Serbia would soon happen, and its aim it to “recognize reality.”

“This may be popular neither for me, nor for the President Vucic, but it would be good for Kosovo and Serbia. We are lucky to pay a political price for the sake of a better future for the forthcoming generations,” Thaci went on saying.
