When it comes to finding a solution for the Kosovo issue, Russia proceeds from international law, and a solution that must suit the people of Serbia.
This has been stated by the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
The Belgrade daily Blic claims that the US and the most influential European countries are concerned already about the co-operation and contacts held by top officials of Moscow and representatives of Pristina authorities.
Blic says that more diplomatic sources confirmed that all presidents of influential Western countries ask about this newly built relationship within the EU institutions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to visit Serbia in January, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said on Friday during a visit to Belgrade, Russian news agency TASS reports.

At this moment, only four people know the solution for Kosovo, says journalist Jaksa Scekic.
Appearing in the TV Prva Morning program, he said that Serbia is not in a position to tighten up at this moment, because it is quite delicate time.

The newspaper states that the Serbian president often stays in Russia, "more often than any other president," adding that Putin is quite popular in the Balkans, and that another arrival in Moscow means a rise in popularity by several percent for the Serbian president.
