Emmanuel Macron is today in Serbia on an official visit, which comes less than five months after the head of the Élysée hosted his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vucic, in Paris.
Macron's trip is seen as an opportunity for the two heads of state to discuss economic issues, defense, energy and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, "Politika", an old Serbian newspaper that today is partially owned by the government, published an article in which the French head of state called for the normalization of relations with Kosovo and pledged to intervene in the establishment of the Association of Majority Municipalities Serbian.
"The road to normalization preserves the essence, the possibility for Serbs to live in Kosovo in accordance with the law, but without giving up their identity", writes Macron, who mentions the year 2019, when, as he says, he sought a compromise "on the issue of Kosovo".
"In 2019, when I spoke about the Kosovo issue, I spoke about the courage needed to reach a compromise. Convinced that this courage exists in Serbia, we, together with Germany and our European partners, with the support of the United States of America, wanted to help the region avoid unilateral movements, reckless statements and escalation of tensions, casualties the main of which are the people living on the ground, especially the Serbian minority in Kosovo", says the French president.
Macron underlines that he remains personally committed to the establishment of the Association. "This road is paved: anything that slows down the progress on that road is at the expense of the people who live there", it is emphasized in his article, where the cooperation that France is building with Serbia is described as a "real strategic partnership".
