Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin says that the Serbian List will not allow formation of Kosovo armed forces and that no one can persuade the Serbian government to agree with the formation of Kosovo Army.
Vulin told Politika daily that "there is nobody who can convince us and make us accept that the Kosovo Army can exist on the territory of the province."
Aleksandar Vucic late on Tuesday said that Kosovo and Metohija represents the essence of the political "present time, and the future" of Serbia.
Besides, the Serbian president said that he supported the decision of the Serb (Srpska) List to enter the Kosovo government - while Serbia "would not change its opinion" on the new Kosovo government's head, Ramush Haradinaj.
The Serbian list has the strength and the government in Pristina depends on the List, says President of the Serbian List Goran Rakić in the News of the Radio Television of Serbia.
He says that Serbian list will not blackmail that ''will not push a finger in the eyes of the Albanians'' but that they will be a stone in a shoe that will constantly remind Pristina of its obligations, Rakić told RTS.
Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) Vice President Marko Đurić says that the upcoming local elections in Kosovo are of national importance, and that the state of Serbia supports only the Serbian List in the elections, reports Serbian media.
Minister of State Administration Branko Ružić believes that the interest of Serbia and the Kosovo Serbs is maximal involvement in the work of Kosovo institutions, and one should not be guided by emotions or myths.
"It is our interest to be maximally involved in order to preserve, above all, the right to the existence of the 150,000 Serbs living down there," Ružić said, commenting on the formation of a new Kosovo government, led by Ramush Haradinaj.
The coalition with Haradinaj will remain with black letters on the black pages of Serbian history, said President of the Free Citizens Movement Saša Janković, Vesti portal reports.
The 120-seat Kosovo Assembly on Sunday elected Ramush Haradinaj, the PDK-led coalition candidate, as new head of the Kosovo government.
61 voted in favor, while one member of the Assembly abstained.
After the session, members of the Self-Determination and the coalition gathered around the LDK left the session and did not attend the taking of the oath of office of Haradinaj and the members of his government.
RTK2 reports that, in the new Kosovo government led by Ramush Haradinaj, the Serbian list should receive three ministries.
According to RTK2, the Serbian List will have the Minister of Local Government and Administration, and headed by Ivan Teodosijević, who performed the same function before the elections.
Serbian List will have a Minister of Returns, and this should be Dalibor Jevtić, who in the previous two mandates held this post.
Newly elected Kosovo Parliament Vice President Slavko Simić says that he is honoured and pleased that he was nominated and elected deputy chairman of the parliament.
"For me, a great responsibility and obligation, to make efforts, in the coming period through the Presidency and the Parliament, to protect Serbian national interests and improve the position of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija through organized political activity with the parliamentary club of the Serbian List,'' wrote Simić on Facebook.
The participation of the Serbian List in the Kosovo Government does not mean support for Ramush Haradinaj, said chairman of the Assembly's Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun for N1.
Drecun believes that the legitimacy of Haradinaj's support in the Kosovo elections cannot be denied, and that the Serbian List made a good move.
