According to unofficial information of the newspaper Blic, during the
two-day visit to Belgrade, Emmanuel Macron informed Serbian President
Aleksandar Vucic about this. 

The French President intends to engage more actively in this region, says
Blic's source and explains: 

"France wants to take over a key role in resolving the problems between
Belgrade and Pristina. Since due to numerous obligations and tight schedule,
Macron is not in a position to deal with the Kosovo issue on a daily basis,
he intends in the forthcoming period to find a trusted man who will be in
charge of that part of Europe. It will be the French Envoy for the Western
Balkans. Thanks to this newly appointed person, Macron will practically
strengthen French influence in the region". 

On the other hand, on a number of occasions, the United States said that
official Washington would have to engage more directly in the crackdown on
the Kosovo issue. The last was the opinion stated by Lieutenant-General
Frederick Ben Hodges, Former Commander US Army Europe. However, US officials
say that EU leads the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and that they respect it.
