Russian media: Moscow doesn't want border correction, Serbia recognises Kosovo with that

President Vladimir Putin's visit to Belgrade has political significance and should be the answer to the principle question: whether Serbia is willing to be a key Moscow ally in the region and continue approaching the EU and NATO, Russian media write.

The Komersant newspaper writes that Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq has recently been actively pushing the idea of correcting borders with Kosovo as the precondition for normalising relations, without which Serbia's EU integration is impossible.

“Moscow is sceptical about the Serbia-Kosovo agreement, which the EU wants, fearing it will become NATO protectorate. Moscow is not quick to support the idea of border correction, believing that Belgrade will actually recognise Kosovo. So, even after today's talks on the Kosovo problem, their interpretation may be quite different, as it was after the October meeting in Moscow “, Komersant writes.
