US President Donald Trump could visit Serbia at the earliest by the end of the year or early next spring, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has said.

"The organization of this kind of visit is a serious business that takes place for a few months. Taking into account all that, Trump could come to Serbia either in the spring ir the end of the year," Dacic told Srpski Telegraf.
According to him, this visit would be of great importance to Belgrade.

According to the results of the Kosovo Democratic Institute research, 91 per cent of Serbian community members would not accept Kosovo's recognition by Serbia.

The same research shows that, if the parliamentary elections were held next week, 45% of citizens would surely come out.
