Vucic: New French-German proposal no improvement for us

TIRANA - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday in Tirana a new French-German proposal sent to Belgrade and Pristina was no improvement from the previous one in terms of what was the most important for Serbia.

"They did not honour the request that was made," Vucic told reporters in Tirana, where he attended an EU-Western Balkans summit.

"We are ready to talk and we are rejecting nothing beforehand, except that we have made it clear in writing - not only orally - what our red lines are and what we cannot accept. We are ready to talk, we are ready for compromise solutions and we will continue the talks."

Commenting on a statement by EU special envoy Miroslav Lajcak, who has said a new Brussels meeting between Vucic and Pristina's PM Albin Kurti was expected to take place in a few weeks' time, the Serbian president said:

"A meeting between us is no problem - it is about whether we can reach a solution."
