Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said it is important to find a common interest with the USA so they would be ready to support Serbia’s idea to reach a compromise solution on Kosovo, Serbian media reported.

Dacic told TV Prva that next week one century since the Serbian flag was displayed on the White House would be marked and Serbian PM Brnabic would be there, while the USA Vice President Mike Pence and State Secretary Mike Pompeo should also attend the ceremony.

It seems that over the last couple of months, the Kosovo agenda is getting a faster pace and since the Kosovo side enjoys support of different countries, including that of Washington, then the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is also looking for allies, a correspondent of several Francophonic media from Belgrade, Laurent Rouy told Danas daily.

Asked what kind of meaningful support Belgrade can get from France when it comes to the Kosovo solution, Rouy said it would foremost be the support related to the establishment of the Association of Serb-Majority Municipalities.

Serbia will have no European prospects if Kosovo conflict remains frozen, President Aleksandar Vucic warned on Tuesday.

“If the Kosovo conflict remains frozen you can be sure there will be no European prospects, you can be sure investments will drop,” Vucic told Serbian reporters after his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Serbia will have Macron’s support in finding a compromise solution for Kosovo, Vucic said, adding that he is hoping for the same from German Chancellor Angela Merkel. “In that case there is some hope,” he said.

Some key world powers will be soon sending their new ambassadors to Belgrade, "especially when it comes to solving the Kosovo issue."

The daily Vecernje Novosti writes this on Tuesday, adding that Berlin has already announced a replacement for Axel Dittmann - Thomas Schild, previously a part of the German UN mission. The mandate of UK Ambassador Denis Keefe is expiring as well, and his successor is expected to arrive here in the fall.

It could take the region 50 or 60 years to catch up with EU living standards, a report of the UK Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee has stated.

The report, whose excerpts are published by Blic in an article by Natasa Latkovic, was presented ahead of the recent Western Balkans summit in London, and the daily said its essence was that "the prospects of the six countries of the Western Balkans, when it comes to EU membership, are pretty glum.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is to meet France’s Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday, one day before the EU-led Serbia-Kosovo dialogue continues the following day.

The presidents of Kosovo and Serbia, Hashim Thaci and Aleksandar Vucic, will resume their EU-sponsored negotiations in Brussels after Vucic meets France's Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday to talk about Kosovo and other issues.

The EU-Turkey accession negotiations should stop immediately, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has told Greek daily Kathimerini.

Previously, Kurz, whose country took over EU's rotating presidency on July 6, said he was in favor of admitting Balkan countries, and improving relations with Russia.

Providing honest prospects and a credible path to the EU for the countries of the Western Balkans will serve the bloc’s political, economic and security interests, Kurz stressed, having described the region as one of the priorities of Austria and its EU presidency.

The Western Balkans Summit in London this week achieved little in advancing the region's EU prospects, the Financial Times writes.

The US intelligence service CIA, and the agency Stratfor, have predicted big changes on European soil, Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti is reporting.

The European Union and Serbia agreed on Monday that the Western Balkans Transport Community headquarters would be in Belgrade, the Beta news agency reported.

The block and Belgrade clinched the deal during the EU Summit on Western Balkans taking part in London in the presence of Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.
