German FM urges implementation of EU-brokered Kosovo deal

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Sunday pushed for the implementation of a recent deal signed between Belgrade and Pristina to normalize their relations. An agreement on the implementation of the deal and the start of its realization would be key for Serbia\'s EU aspirations, Serbian news agency Tanjug reported quoting Westerwelle who arrived in Belgrade earlier in the same day. Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, who met with Westerwelle at the airport, said he was confident that Serbia would get a date for the commencement of negotiations within a month. \"After the date we do not expect praise, but practical support,\" Vucic told reporters at the airport. On Monday, Westerwelle is scheduled to meet with Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic and Prime Minister Ivica Dacic. He will travel to Pristina for talks with Kosovo officials later.
