So, the focus will first be on reducing tensions and continuing efforts based on what has been proposed after the meeting in Moldova.<\/p>\n<p>In Moldova, on June 1, the leaders of Germany and France, Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron, asked Kosovo and Serbia to hold new elections in the municipalities in the north of Kosovo, during their meeting with the presidents of both countries, Vjosa Osmani and Aleksandar Vucic.<\/p>\n<p>While the second purpose will be continuation of the work in sequencing the steps to implement the agreement reached in Brussels and the annex on which the parties agreed in Ohrid.
