Kosovo representatives have tried to get access to Serbia’s telecommunications company (Telekom Srbija), which would have allowed them to wiretap Serbian citizens’ phones, Marko Djuric, director of the government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, said.

After 20 hours of talks in Brussels, delegations of Belgrade and Pristina did not manage to settle all elements which are necessary for the implementation of the agreement on telecommunications.

Expert-level delegations of Belgrade and Pristina will continue in Brussels on Monday the dialogue on the Association/Community of Serb Municipalities (A/CSM). They will also discuss telecommunications and other open issues, Tanjug reported. Belgrade's delegation is headed by the director of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đjurić.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić calls on the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, not to invent new conditions for the formation of the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities and stresses that he expects from the EU to put pressure on Pristina to implement the signed agreements.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić, on the occasion of an armed attack on Serbs near Viti/Vitina, warned all the extremists in Kosovo not to play with lives and safety of the Serbs and has requested from the authorities in Pristina to finally show by actions whether they are on the side of peace or terror.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija says, in an interview with Dnevnik,  daily based in Novi Sad, that the goal of the Brussels-based dialogue is a new climate in the region.

This indicates that the Albanian side will no longer be able to push certain issues under the rug such as property.

The competent Kosovo institutions have approved the request of the director of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian government, Marko Đurić, and other delegations to enter Kosovo for the celebration of the feast of "Vidovdan" at Gazimestan. The news site reports that Đurić will participate in the celebration of "Vidovdan" in Gazimestan, to continue then at 16:00, in Mitrovica North where the statue of Tsar Lazar will be unveiled.  Sources told the news site that Đuric will not be allowed to change the planned agenda.

Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić said this evening that "the persistent aggressive rhetoric", which often is veiled and sometimes not even that, or anti-Serb, by individuals in Pristina, creates negative social climate in which is difficult to achieve normalization of relations between Serbs and Albanians.

Serbia's position on Kosovo-Metohija's membership in international organisations is unchanged, the head of the government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric said Tuesday, reiterating that only an integral Serbia can be an EU member state.

Commenting on reports by some Serbian media that Germany will not ratify the agreement on Serbia's EU accession until Kosovo becomes a full UN member, Djuric said:

In Serbia, there are 204,049 internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Kosovo-Metohija, the director of the Serbian government office for Kosovo-Metohija said on Tuesday, noting that the return of Serbs and other non-Albanians is limited by a lack of a mechanism for a return of usurped property.

Seventeen years after the conflict in Serbia's southern province, the problem of displaced persons remains, Djuric said at the third high-level regional forum on permanent solutions for displaced persons from Kosovo-Metohija.
