Belgrade based daily Blic writes today that framework could be formulated for resolving the Kosovo problem at the meeting of the region's leaders with Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron in Paris on July 1.

According to the daily, the final proposal should be harmonized by the end of the year.

If such a scenario comes up, Blic writes, a referendum on Kosovo could be held together with regular parliamentary elections in the spring of next year.

Belgrade based daily Politika reports on Wednesday that French President Emmanuel Macron would visit Serbia on July 15-16, a day after the French national holiday.

The fact that Macron will pay a two-day visit shows a desire by official Paris to confirm and continue strengthening the good relations between France and Serbia, the pro-government daily said, adding that this includes trade which stands at around one billion Euros a year.

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic stated that he was ready to compromise on the solution of the Kosovo problem, but that he was not ready for the Belgrade to give everything, without getting anything, reports Tanjug.

Vucic thus commented on the statement by professor of Washington University John Hopkins and the Balkans expert Daniel Serwer that Vucic was not ready for a historic compromise.

US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Palmer said on Monday that Washington wants Pristina to revoke the 100 percent tariffs imposed on goods from Serbia so that both sides can return to negotiations and reach an agreement for the sake of the entire region, reported Beta news agency.

Speaking after a meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Palmer said that an agreement between Belgrade and Pristina would make the European future of Serbia and Kosovo and the Western Balkans region easier to achieve.

Serbia’s President asked German Chancellor Angela Merkel over the phone to help with breaking the deadlock in the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, Aleksandar Vucic’s office said on Saturday.

Serbia is completely committed to the dialogue which is facilitated by the European Union with the intention to reach a compromise, a solution that is acceptable to both sides and secures stability in the region, he told Merkel.

The Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo clashed over the stalled Belgrade-Pristina dialogue at a GLOBSEC conference in Bratislava on Friday.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told a panel debate that Belgrade is prepared to continue the dialogue as soon as Pristina revokes the 100 percent tariffs it imposed on goods from Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. His Kosovo counterpart Hashim Thaci replied saying that the dialogue cannot continue if conditions are being set which, according to him, is what Serbia is doing.

On the second day of the visit to Berlin, the delegation of the Serbian List, the President Goran Rakic, Vice President Dalibor Jevtic and members of the Presidency Bratislav Nikolic and Sasa Milosavljevic spoke with Advisor to German Chancellor Matthias Lüttenberg.

In an interview with the Belgrade-based Prva TV, Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic said he believed the demarcation with Kosovo was “absolutely the healthiest solution for Serbia and the Serbs,” but added the people would not accept it, the Beta news agency reported on Thursday.

Vucic said a referendum on the issue would be held if he had something to tell the people, but that currently there was no suggestion.

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic says he is not angry, but disappointed, when speaking about the upcoming meeting with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and the mild reaction of the EU towards the ROSU incursion to Kosovo North, reports portal B92, quoting Belgrade based TV Prva.

In the meeting with Zahir Tanin, the UN Mission in Kosovo chief, Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s President, accused Pristina of making irrational and unilateral moves and of constantly provoking, showing that its leaders were making the dialogue with Belgrade impossible, the Beta news agency carried a statement from President's office on Tuesday.

The statement said Vucic also condemned the Kosovo police special unit attack on UN personnel, describing it as “an attempt to compromise the UN Mission in Kosovo.”
