Serbia's “President Aleksandar Vuciq and Kosovo President Hashim Thaci appear to be working on a proposal to be included in exchange for land that could bring the heated conflict towards the end. Northern Kosovo, populated mainly by ethnic Serbs and bordering Serbia, would pass through Serbia. In exchange, a still undefined piece of the Presevo Valley in Serbia -- which is populated by Albanian majority and borders on Kosovo -- would become part of Kosovo”, writes Kupchan, acknowledging that such a plan also means <x2) overlaps of populations” at large.
