President Aleksandar Vucic says Serbia has been offered nothing resembling "dual sovereignty" over the north of Kosovo.

Therefore, nothing of the kind will happen in Berlin, Vucic told a news conference on Thursday. The meeting will take place at the end of April, dedicated to Kosovo and organized by Germany and France.

"Shared sovereignty is always something that is a problematic legal category, while the so-called dual sovereignty - I don't know what that means. But nobody told me that, nobody offered us that, and something like that will not happen in Berlin," he said.

President Aleksandar Vucic would face pressure in Berlin over Kosovo and Metohija, therefore the meetings he would have in Beijing with Chinese and Russian presidents are very important, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told TV Pink.

Dacic noted he does not expect pressure related to making some new framework of the content of the agreement with Pristina, but “there would certainly be the culmination of pressure on Serbia to continue the dialogue regardless of Pristina tariffs.”

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.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he is very worried because of everything in Kosovo and Metohija and the forthcoming meeting in Berlin, Tanjug news agency reported.

The German ambassador to Serbia Thomas Schieb told N1 morning programme on Thursday that the meeting of the Western Balkans leaders in Berlin was planned at the initiative by Germany and France for quite some time, proving the region had a high priority.

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.

Forthcoming meeting between the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and German Chancellor Angela Merkel should be interpreted as increased pressure on Belgrade to reach an agreement on normalization of relations with Pristina as soon as possible.

This is what diplomatic representatives and experts for regional affairs told Belgrade-based daily Danas.

Germany has prepared "a special program for the Western Balkans" - as compensation for the long wait of the region's countries to join the EU, writes a daily.

Citing diplomatic sources, Vecernje Novosti is reporting that Berlin has prepared a "mini Marshall Plan" for the Balkans, which should over the next few years boost the economies in the region.

It can be expected that the U.S. will suggest to Germany and other EU members to let up, and give Serbia a chance to open chapters in membership negotiations.

This is according to Faculty of of Political Sciences professor Ivo Viskovic, who added that the visit of Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic to Washington is "very important."

"It's difficult to say that this would mean pressure on Berlin, Berlin would never accept that, but an influence on Berlin, yes," he told the Serbian state broadcaster RTS, and added:

Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the economy from the region, in the framework of the Berlin Process, will be held in Pristina, last week of March, Danas has learned from sources in Pristina. Then, according to our source, is expected the first visit of the Head of the Serbian Diplomacy, Ivica Dacic to Kosovo, and the Economy Minister Zeljko Sertic. The meeting, like the previous two in Berlin and Belgrade, will be organized by the Gymnich formula, i.e. without the display of national symbols.
