N1

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday that he would attend the Paris Peace Forum and expects to meet European Union and French officials to discuss the situation in Kosovo.

Vucic told a news conference after presenting medals to Kosovo Serb police officers that he would be traveling to Paris even though he canceled trips to Qatar and Egypt because of the heightened tensions in Kosovo after the deadline to replace Serbian-issued license plates expired. The police officers he decorated quit their senior posts in the Kosovo police over the license plates issue.

Vucic said he expects to meet with French President Emanuel Macron and European Union Special Representative for the Western Balkans Miroslav Lajcak.
