Nikolic invites Kosovo president for meeting

The venue is not that important, but Belgrade and Pristina should perhaps be avoided, he said.
"As far as I'm concerned, I can go to Pristina and present the platform (on Kosovo) in the parliament. I have no problem with that," he told the Politika daily.

He wanted Serbia to focus on Kosovo as soon as the government was formed and said they had had two meetings so far.
"At the first, I asked who would write the platform and the prime minister (Ivica Dacic) said: 'You write it, president,'" Nikolic explained.

"We discussed the text several times and there were no serious objections. Only then did I present it to the opposition," he noted, stressing that the platform should not be a document by the government coalition, but by the parliament.

"We want the platform to end the practice of making partial agreements, and not having the obligation to follow a document of our own," Nikolioc said.

Jahaga ready to meet with Nikolic

The moment she took over the office, Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga expressed readiness to meet with "the presidents of the neighboring countries", including Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, Jahjaga's office has released.

On the last day of the Summit in Budva, Montenegro, the Office of the Kosovo President was contacted by the Office of Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic suggesting of a meeting between the two presidents, Jahjaga's spokesperson Arber Vlahiu stated.

High EU officials contacted President Jahjaga and discussed the possibilities and models of the meetings between the two presidents, as an encouragement to the dialogue process and reaching agreements whose goal is to facilitate the life of citizens and influence full normalization of the relations between Kosovo and Serbia, the statement adds.

The spokesperson said that Jahjaga gave a positive response to such an initiative, adding that this was her initiative as well, and voicing belief that meetings between the two countries' political leaders contribute to the European agenda about good neighboring relations and the resolution of open issues through dialogues and agreements.

Jahjaga suggested to the EU leaders to organize and mediate the first meeting between the Kosovo president and the Serbian president, which could take place after the next meeting between the prime ministers of Kosovo and Serbia, the statement said.
