Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is attending the prestigious WORLD.MINDS conference in Belgrade. The conference gathers leading world innovators, scientists, business leaders and artists, who are presenting the ideas of the new era in an inspirational way. Vucic and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder are currently discussing geopolitical issues, the bombing Serbia and Kosovo and Metohija.

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said it is realistic for Serbia to join the European Union by 2025, adding that Pristina would have to abolish the tariffs on the goods from central Serbia sooner or later, which is a precondition that both sides return to the negotiation table, RTV Puls reports. “I absolutely think that the introduction of mentioned punitive tariffs is a bad thing. I think they will be revoked, and this is not my personal opinion, but also the opinion of the EU and other states that it has to be done sooner or later,” Schroeder told Blic daily.
