In Belgrade and Pristina, the press has hailed the agreement on the normalisation of relations between Serbia and its former province, which was concluded on April 19 under the auspices of the EU, as a historic step forward.
The acquittal of two Croat generals and a Kosovar ex-prime minister has reignited the dispute over a much-contested subject in the former Yugoslavia: who was the victim and who the aggressor in the war nearly 20 years ago?
The acquittal of General Gotovina and General Markač by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia salvages the honour of Croatia, but does not erase all the questions about the country's recent past, writes the national press. In Serbia, on the other hand, the news has not been well received.
The north earns the money, while the south spends it – while this phrase is currently being bandied about in the eurozone, it was also widely heard a quarter of a century ago in the former Yugoslavia. European politicians would do well to remember, a Dutch journalist contends.
On September 10, formal international monitoring of Kosovo will end and the newest state in Europe will take a further step forward towards true and full sovereignty. But as the European press has noted, Kosovo is far from being totally free of the supervision to which it has been subjected since birth.
On 28 June, which is the anniversary of the battle of Kosovo, the Bosnian Serb film maker will inaugurate Andrićgrad: a town built to celebrate the work of writer Ivo Andrić. Belgrade journalist Boško Jakšić dénonces a project, which he claims is intent on instrumentalising history and memory for nationalist ends.
In an unexpected result, nationalist Tomislav Nikolić has defeated the outgoing Boris Tadić to become the new president of Serbia. At a time when the country is a candidate to join the EU, his election will likely have an impact on relations between Belgrade and Brussels.
On the eve of parliamentary and presidential elections in Serbia, the EU officially supports neither side. But compared to less Europhile opponents, the outgoing president, Boris Tadić, seems to remain the best possible choice.
