Macron and Merkel to make a concrete proposal on Kosovo-Serbia final deal - Gazeta Express 2-3 minutes _____ During the meeting of the Western Balkan leaders on 29 April set to be held in Berlin, hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, a draft agreement between Kosovo and Serbia is expected to be proposed. The meeting will be attended by presidents and prime ministers of both Kosovo and Serbia. German Chancellor Merkel is opposing to the idea on redrawing borders in Balkans, and is personally dealing with the Kosovo issue. Gazeta Express has learned that during the meeting in Berlin will be proposed a draft agreement aimed at reaching a final deal between Kosovo and Serbia. The new frame agreement does not include land swap as promoted by Kosovo president Hashim Thaci, but will not be the in favour of Kosovo. Most likely it will be proposed that Serbia exercise a sort of sovereignty in certain territories of Kosovo. The German Government in an answer to Gazeta Express has confirmed that the aim of Chancellor Merkel and French President Macron is stability in the region, focusing on Kosovo-Serbia dialogue. "Stability and positive developments in the region are of a great importance to Chancellor and President. Their aim is discussing with the guests on special challenges the region is facing, focusing on Kosovo-Serbia relations," a German Government spokesperson told Gazeta Express. Kosovo president Hashim Thaci and Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj are going to Brussels without a unified stance. Thaci met on Monday EU's Commissioner Johannes Hahn, whereas Haradinaj from Kosovo accused Hahn and the EU foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, for wasting a year with their statements on exchange of territories between Kosovo and Serbia. Meliza Haradinaj, advisor to prime minister Ramush Haradinaj, in a Facebook post on Monday said that Kosovo issue will be on the focus of the Berlin regional meeting, and called on institutional leaders to be represented with a unified stance before Merkel and Macron. /GazetaExpress/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
