The French President praised Vucic’s courage to propose several times “innovative solutions” to the dispute between the two countries, without specifying what those solutions are.
“I must salute the risks he has taken on several occasions to propose innovative solutions,” Macron said about Vucic. “I am ready to support them, those solutions that will enable us to make progress on this subject, which is a subject, I would say, intimate for your country, for your people – those [solutions] that will obviously be agreed upon on both sides and which, if accepted, will finally enable us to settle this essential issue at the heart of our Europe.”
Meanwhile, Kosovo politics is focused on the electoral campaign for the February 14 general elections.
