During the past year, the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina stalled primarily due to political instability and the blockage of institutions in Kosovo, and analysts assess that there will be no progress in this process this year either. The issue of a second presidential term for Vjosa Osmani could lead to new elections in Kosovo, while elections in Serbia are expected toward the end of the year. Analysts also note that the Western Balkans are not in the focus of the international community, which is facing heightened tensions caused by U.S. intervention in Venezuela and threats toward Greenland.
