(ANSA) - BELGRADE, SEPTEMBER 27 - French President Emmanuel Macron intends to await the outcome of the October 6 elections in Kosovo to actively engage in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina. Macron spoke with the Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic during a brief meeting yesterday in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. A statement issued by the Foreign Ministry in Belgrade reported. In recent months Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel took a joint initiative to find a solution to the complex issue of Kosovo, convening a meeting of the Balkan countries, first in Berlin and then in Paris.

However, after the first unsuccessful meeting, the second one was canceled due to the persistent controversy between Belgrade and Pristina.

To return to the negotiating table, the Serbian party sets as a condition the abolition of the tariffs, increased by 100%, imposed by Kosovo in November on imports from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. (ANSA).
