The European Parliament’s Resolution on Serbia acknowledged its reform process in the course of last year, which led to the opening of chapters 32 and 35 in negotiations on EU membership. In relation to recent adoption of the progress report presented by the EP Rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister, the Vice-President of the caucus of socialists and democrats in the European Parliament, Knut Fleckenstein, says that he believes that Serbia undoubtedly achieved good progress.

At the latest round of talks between Belgrade and Pristina, the Serbian delegation proposed establishing an airline between the two cities. The Serbian delegation's idea is for the planes to enter the air space over FYR Macedonia, making the airline international and talks about delineation of the air space between Serbia proper and Kosovo, favored by Pristina, would be avoided.

So that elections for the Serbian parliament can take place in Kosovo, an agreement needs to be reached between Belgrade and Pristina, through mediation of the EU and Washington, says Bojan Klacar from the Center for Free Elections and Democracy (CESID), and added that it is expected that the OSCE will organize the technical side of the elections, as was the case in 2014.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe today will discuss and vote the draft resolution titled "The situation in Kosovo and the role of the Council of Europe". This draft-resolution was initially voted in the Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy.

The start of EU accession negotiations with Serbia and the progress made in normalizing relations between Serbia and Kosovo was welcomed by Foreign Affairs Committee MEPs in two resolutions passed on Thursday. They also stressed that these relations would be strengthened if all EU member states were to recognize Kosovo.

The government of Kosovo has not yet taken a stance on whether it will allow Serbian parliamentary elections to be held in the predominantly-Serb municipalities. Deputy Minister of the Local Government and Administration Bajram Gecaj told Radio Kosova that the government of Kosovo has not yet discussed Serbian elections in Kosovo. Meanwhile, political analysts say Kosovo institutions should treat the subject with caution.

EU representatives will try to convince Belgrade officials to accept the decision of the Kosovo Constitutional Court on Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities today in Brussels, learned Blic. Today’s meeting, mediated by the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini, will be attended by the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa.

Vetevendosje Movement MP, Rexhep Selimi, said that except for the people of Kosovo, Serbian agents tapped significant international personalities in Kosovo, to provide information to Russian intelligence.

 The Serbian Ambassador to Turkey, Danilo Vucetic, said to the Turkish daily Zaman, that that the EU is requesting Serbia to sign a legally binding agreement, which he can only interpret as the EU's attempts to force Serbia to recognize Kosovo.

Vucetic said the Brussels Agreement, which was drawn up between Serbia and Kosovo in 2013 under the auspices of the EU but not signed by either, envisages Serbia's recognition of Kosovo after all negotiating chapters are completed.

The date has yet to be set for Serbian early parliamentary and, most likely, local elections. The media speculate that they will take place on 24 April, and Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said that such claims are not unrealistic. There is a probability that the Serbian parliamentary elections will take place in Kosovo as well, however the government of Kosovo will have to give its final say about the modalities.
