Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has received a letter from Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader "expressed readiness to work with him on further improvement of the strategic partnership between the two countries," Tanjug news agency reported, quoting the president's press office.

According to a press release, at Xi's invitation, Vucic will attend the 2nd international Belt and Road Forum in Beijing on April 25-27.

Donald Trump, the US President, told Zoran Zaev, North Macedonia's Prime Minister, that his deal with Greece on the country’s new name was the greatest achievement in the Balkans since the 1995 Dayton Agreement which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Beta news agency reported.

Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic has replied to US Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott, who believes that, on the issue of the situation in Venezuela, Serbia is on the wrong side of history.

"The Americans are properly on the right side, supporting Kosovo. We were on their side in both world wars, and they chose the ones they fought against in both wars," Dacic told Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti.

Bakir Izetbegovic, president of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), told Voice of America that he believes that in case Serbia recognizes Kosovo's independence, all radars will turn to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Izetbegovic commented on the possible outcome of Belgrade-Pristina relations, but also the relationship between BiH and Kosovo, and sees the only link between Kosovo and BiH in that "the same side that has done the violence against Albanians on Kosovo, and in BiH against the Bosniaks ".

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met today with Head of European Delegation in Serbia, Sem Fabrizi and conveyed him expectation that the EU would invest additional efforts in order to influence Pristina to revoke unilateral actions that bring peace and stability in the region into jeopardy, RTS reports.

“There is a need for lasting agreement. We are ready to continue talks with Pristina, when tariffs are revoked,” President Vucic said. He added that Belgrade is ready to find a compromise solution, and there is no alternative to the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic received on Tuesday Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister of Venezuela Yvan Gil.

Dacic told Gil that Serbia’s and Venezuela’s relations are characterized by a long friendship, reflected in mutual support on the international plan, expressing appreciation for the country's principled position (non-recognition) on Kosovo and Metohija, as well as voting against the so-called Kosovo in Interpol and UNESCO.

“Kosovo is a state that has brought its independence, territorial integrity and Constitution into question,” Pristina-based publicist Veton Surroi has said, according to the Serbian media. He made these remarks on the occasion of the 11^th anniversary of Kosovo declaration of independence.

Leader of Peoples’ Party and Chair of Alliance for Serbia (SZS) Vuk Jeremic assessed yesterday that delineation, which, according to the Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic represents an official Belgrade’s position in negotiations with Pristina, is “a fig leaf” for Kosovo recognition, BETA news agency reported.

Jeremic also underlined “how something that National Assembly is not informed about, let even decided about it, can become a state policy?”

Serbian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Rasim Ljajic says to Radio Television of Serbia that throughout Kosovo there are Serbian goods, which arrive there through alternative roads, reported Belgrade based daily Danas.

Ljajic recalled that Serbian officials promptly warned of the development of the black market immediately after the introduction of a tax.

Kosovo PM Ramush Haradinaj says that Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic's proposal is "unacceptable and unreasonable." Dacic spoke yesterday about delimitation "between Kosovo and Serbia on ethnic basis."

Haradinaj stressed that "such a thing has not been realized anywhere, ever."
