The dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina is in the focus of attention of the talks between the two leaders behind closed doors, and, as announced, they will also discuss Serbia's European path, bilateral relations between the two countries, and the coronavirus pandemic.

After the meeting of the two delegations, a working dinner will follow, which Macron is organizing in honor of President Vucic.

This is a very important meeting at which President Vucic will certainly seek support and understanding for Serbian interests from President Macron, who has repeatedly stated that Serbia and its president have a sincere friend in France.

Tomorrow, President Vucic will participate in the video summit dedicated to the Kosovo issue, which Macron organized together with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The summit will also be attended by EU Special Envoy for dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell and Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti.

A meeting between President Vucic and Hoti is planned for Sunday, July 12, in Brussels, in the presence of Borrell and Lajčák.
