RTK2 reported on Saturday that the decision on tariffs imposed by the Government of Kosovo on products from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in November last year was still in force.

In the meantime, many international officials have called on authorities in Pristina to revoke this decision, and recently Head of the EU Office in Kosovo, Nataliya Apostolova, pointed out that Pristina has violated CEFTA and SAA agreements by a decision on tariffs, wrote RTK2.

Kosovo's progress report confirms its European perspective, but it also shows that there are no shortcuts on the way to the EU, said Nataliya Apostolova, Head of the EU office in Kosovo, adding a glass is half full, and that the continuation of the reforms requires a strong political will of the Assembly and Government.

Serbian List (SL) Vice President Igor Simic told RTK2 that SL MPs are still in the Assembly of Kosovo.

According to him, they are exhausted, but they do not give up request to meet with EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn, because it is necessary to convey to him “how dangerous is the decision to block the distribution of Serbian products for the survival of Serbs in Kosovo”.

According to Simic, the Serbian List, unlike Slobodan Petrovic, has proved “numerous times that for SL, the interest of the Serbian people is in the first place”.

Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric called European Union to declare itself on the stances of an EU Office in Kosovo Head Nataliya Apostolova, who said that frequent attacks of Albanians against Serbs in Kosovo are “tit for tat,” Serbian media reported.

With such reaction on dozens of attacks, in which lives of people and their properties are endangered, Apostolova, according to Djuric “sends a message to those who are attacking that attacks are welcome.”

The Serbian List called on EU officials yesterday to publicly explain the statement made by EU Head of the Kosovo Office Nataliya Apostolova that ethnic-motivated attacks on the Serbs in Kosovo are starting to look as 'tit-for- tat', report Serbian media.

Normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia is “the most complicated process in the Balkans at the moment”, according to the head of the EU’s office in Pristina. But both sides need steady encouragement from the international community to reach a final solution and progress towards EU membership.

Head of EU Office and Special Representative, Nataliya Apostolova, said in a lecture before Pristina high school pupils that European Union is Kosovo’s biggest partner in its integration path and that the EU will pay particular attention to the education field. She admitted that the EU integration of will be a lengthy and challenging process but that Kosovo stands to benefit extremely.

Following media reports that Head of the EU Office in Pristina, Natalia Apostolova, in a conference yesterday told Kosovo to work more on persuading "other countries" that have not yet recognized Kosovo independence to do so in a near future and that she said Kosovo "is equal to other countries in the region," Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, has reacted.

Djuric said that Apostolova directly placed herself on Pristina's side, disguising the dialogue.

According to B92, Head of an EU Office in Pristina encouraged authorities in Pristina to work more in order to convince states that have not recognized Kosovo, to do so in a near future.

Head of EU Mission, where 5 member states did not recognize unilaterally declared Kosovo independence, told Kosovo “it is equal with other states in the region,” B92 further reported.

Head of the EU Office in Kosovo and Special Representative, Nataliya Apostolova, met today Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, and the two made a call to MPs to support the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro tomorrow. Apostolova said two important steps were undertaken recently with regards to the border demarcation process: the joint statement of Kosovo and Montenegro presidents and the agreement between most parties to support the demarcation.
