Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said that her Montenegrin counterpart, Dritan Abazovic, had "again drawn her attention" to the issue of the former President of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro from 2003 to 2006 who is avoiding justice in Montenegro and hiding in Serbia, but gave no details.

Before the beginning of the summit, President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui, pointed out that there was no reason to be afraid for Serbia.

"Greece has always been a friendly country, and due to the political closeness of the two nations, they would like to see Serbia in the EU", says Slobodan Zecevic from the Institute for European Studies.
The position on Kosovo has not changed, because they have similar conflicts with Turkey, Zecevic added.

Franjo Baricevic was born in 1953 in the small village of Hrtkovci, near the town of Ruma in Serbia's northern Vojvodina region, where his family had lived for several generations.
