Leader of People’s Party Vuk Jeremic said Serbia does not have to choose between Kosovo and EU, as Serbia’s membership to the EU is not feasible in near future, Serbian media reported

Jeremic made these remarks for the Chinese state TV CGTN adding “it is difficult to imagine that Serbia would be admitted to the EU with unresolved Kosovo issue, as it is also difficult to imagine Serbia would enter the EU at all, even if it resolves the Kosovo issue.”

A permanent Kosovo solution requires agreement from Germany, France, the EU, the US, Turkey, and Russia, President Aleksandar Vucic said in Berlin on Friday.

"We are ready for a compromise, I told that to Mrs. Merkel, but for that, two sides are needed," Vucic said after his meeting with the German chancellor.

He added that in the past, he believed it was easier for Serbs and Albanians to talk to alone.

European Parliament deputy from the German Social democratic Party, Josip Juratovic, assesses for Belgrade based news agency Tanjug, before the meeting of Aleksandar Vucic and Angela Merkel, that talks are a good sign of reaching a solution, but believes that neither the EU nor Merkel can take over the political responsibility given to legitimate elected political leaders in Belgrade and Pristina, reports daily Blic.

Germany will not ask Belgrade to officially recognize Kosovo's independence, but it recalls the model of "Two Germanys", assess Franz-Lothar Altmann, professor of the University of Bucharest ahead of the meeting of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Belgrade based daily Blic reports.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has described statements saying that the ZSO would be formed in accordance with Kosovo's laws as "ridiculous."

That was something heard from an EU spokesperson earlier in the week.

Pristina-based legal professional, Blerim Burjani said that the truth about drafting ZSO Statute is not in a decision of the Kosovo Constitutional Court but in a political compromise.

Burjani made this remark referring to the announcements from Brussels and Pristina that remarks and conclusions of the Kosovo Constitutional Court should be a base for defining an umbrella act on ZSO.

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.

Aleksandar Vucic has said that the ZSO can only be formed in accordance with the Brussels agreement, its principles and the implementation plan.

Reacting to EU's stance on the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo - after an EU spokesperson told Tanjug on Tuesday that this would be done "in accordance with Kosovo laws and objections of the Kosovo Constitutional Court - the president said, "let them show us where this is written."

Vucic also said he was "surprised by this statement."

Serbian diplomat, Zoran Milivojevic told RTS that recent threats voiced by Hashim Thaci indicate there is no political will in Pristina to reach a compromise and normalization of relations with Belgrade, therefore forthcoming talks between Serbian President, Aleksandar Vuci and EU leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel are crucial for the continuation of EU integration.

The EU has welcomed the Kosovo PM's announcement on giving the mandate to the management team to draft the statute of the Community of Serb Municipalities, ZSO.

Tanjug is reporting that the EU "gave Pristina a four-month time frame for the process."

Tanjug is reporting that the EU "gave Kosovo four months to draft Community statute."

A statement posted on the website of the the European External Action Service said that "the drafting process for the statute has started and will take place within a four-month time frame."
