And Serbia is not succeeding in turning a new leaf with Kosovo either,&#8221; writes Kronen Zeitung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"i7jvzOKboP\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/zlocin-koji-se-ne-zaboravlja-za-ubistvo-srpske-dece-u-gorazdevcu-ni-posle-21-godinu-niko-nije-odgovarao\/\">ZLO\u010cIN KOJI SE NE ZABORAVLJA: Za ubistvo srpske dece u Gora\u017edevcu ni posle 22 godine niko nije odgovarao!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;ZLO\u010cIN KOJI SE NE ZABORAVLJA: Za ubistvo srpske dece u Gora\u017edevcu ni posle 22 godine niko nije odgovarao!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/zlocin-koji-se-ne-zaboravlja-za-ubistvo-srpske-dece-u-gorazdevcu-ni-posle-21-godinu-niko-nije-odgovarao\/embed\/#?secret=GINIiP9RZt#?secret=i7jvzOKboP\" data-secret=\"i7jvzOKboP\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In foreign policy, Vu\u010di\u0107 is courting China and Russia with political and economic concessions.

This means there is an interest in ensuring that this partner does not remain a black hole in Southeast Europe, the Austrian daily states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The chancellor does not have an easy task, which is to convey a European vision to Belgrade.
