Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli said that he was against the idea of a correction of the Kosovo border and estimated that the solution was to establish a common economic zone, reports Serbian media.

Pacoli in Vienna, in his statement to Belgrade based news agency Tanjug, where he had a speech in the EU representation, said that there should not be divisions on the grounds of ethnicity, language, religion and anything else, but that we must live together and be committed to the economy.

US Ambassador to Serbia, Kyle Scott will hold a series of meetings in Pristina with Kosovo officials and other prominent individuals.

Answering to Tanjug's question regarding the topics of the upcoming talks Ambassador Scott will have in Pristina, the American embassy in Belgrade replied that he would meet with them in order to hear their opinions and learn more about the situation in the region.

The European Union and Western Balkans are partners in security and defence, European Union High Representative Federica Mogherini said in Vienna on Thursday prior to a meeting of EU Defence Ministers.

“We traditionally perceive the Western Balkans as an area of instability where the EU has been a security provider for many years, she said adding that “we are now moving into a stage in which we are partners in our common security and defence”.

Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) is actively considering a special meeting of the Holy Assembly of Bishops with Kosovo and Metohija as the main topic.

As Tanjug learns from the well-informed church circles, the special meeting is a possibility even though the Church's stance "on the issue remains clear and unchanged".
The Church's position, announced after the May meeting, is that Serbia must not lose Kosovo.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has welcomed German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying she was "against any changes of borders in the Balkans."

"All there is to be done is for the majority of the European Union to convince its five members that haven't yet recognized Kosovo and Serbia, too, to recognize it within the existing borders. The sooner that is done, the better for the region," Thaci tweeted, Beta agency reported.

This Monday marks 15 years since unknown persons opened fire from automatic weapons on a group of Serb youths in Kosovo.

They were spending a summer day on the banks of the Bistrica River, near their homes in the Serb enclave of Gorazdevac - a village in the western part of Kosovo.
19-year-old Ivan Jovovic, and 12-year-old Pantelija Dakic were killed in the attack.

President Aleksandar Vucic met on Wednesday in Belgrade with Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Member Mladen Ivanic.

According to a press release from Vucic's office, during the conversation, he "stressed the need to strengthen political relations and economic cooperation."

Pristina's maximalist goals, which, along with recognition, wants Presevo and Bujanovac, are the main obstacles to resolving the Kosovo problem.

This has been stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Ivica Dacic.

NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller said in Brussels on Tuesday that KFOR would not withdraw from Kosovo.

The Berlin Process gathering in London that brought together Western Balkans leaders could not go without something "short-circuiting," says Ivica Dacic.

"It's been confirmed that wherever everyone from the region gathers, some short circuit occurs. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson didn't even come to the gathering, because he resigned. Should we go to some other countries, too?," the Serbian foreign minister asked jokingly.
