Cliff: No new elections in Kosovo

(Most monitored broadcasters, TV21)

The British Ambassador to Kosovo Ian Cliff said he is convinced that organization of new elections are not at the interest of Kosovo citizens, as they have faced a series of electoral processes over the last year.

In an interview with Serbian news agency Tanjug, the Ambassador Cliff said that Britain wants to see continuation of Kosovo-Serbia dialogue as the earliest time possible.

Talking about the so-called ‘Peace Park’, Cliff said that at the end an agreement that enables freedom of movement over the Ibër Bridge must be achieved.

Rasic: Kosovo Serbs should solely decide about their future

(KTV, TV21)

Autochthonous Serbs in Kosovo should solely decide about their future and they should not be influenced by Prishtinë/Pristina or Belgrade, Kosovo Assembly MP Nenad Rasic said.

In an interview with Koha Ditore, President of Serb Progressive Democratic Party Nenad Rasic, said that Belgrade did not help out Kosovo Serbs as they expected.

According to Rasic, creation of Srpska List has dimmed autochthonous capacities of Serbs.

Speaking about the so-called ‘Peace Park’ over Ibër River, Rasic said that this issue cannot be solved by Albanians and Serbs and without Brussels involvement.

Acting minister of labour and social welfare Rasic considers that international organizations present in Kosovo should further engage themselves through various projects to bring down distinctions and prejudices between Serbs and Albanians.
