Pristina on Monday changed the Stabilization and Association Agreement it signed with the EU. 

Pristina has signed the SAA agreement as Kosovo* - but the yesterday session of the Assembly, that ratified the agreement, also passed an amendment that replaced the asterisk - which in official documents points to a footnote referring to Kosovo's status - with the term "the Republic of Kosovo."

Kosovo Assembly Speaker Kadri Veseli said today that  Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga is performing her constitutional duty by addressing the Constitutional Court regarding the Association/Community of Serb majority municipalities. Veseli added that he hopes that the Serbian List representatives, who expressed their concern over the delay on the implementation of this association, will be more understanding on this matter.

The head of the parliamentary group of the Serbian List in the Kosovo Assembly Slavko Simic will meet early this week with the Kosovo Interior Minister Skender Hyseni. Simic expressed a sharp protest against the wave of violence against Serbs in Kosovo, the Serbian list announced today.

As previously announced, Simic would talk to Hyseni, because "there is no more sense to condemn crimes, fraud and injustice through statements," while the Kosovo police will not or was not able to prevent the violence.

Aleksandar Jablanović is not recognizing decision on his deposition from the post of the chairperson of the Civic Initiative Serbian List and stated that he will submit a criminal charge against Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović for fake presentation, Beta agency reports. The Serbian List communicated in late September that the post of the coordinator of that civic initiative, until appointment of a new chairperson, will be carried out by Stojanović.

The President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, held today separate meetings with the representatives of the 6+ Group as well as with the representatives of the Serbian List, to discuss overcoming of the current situation at the Assembly.

The Assembly chairmanship gathered today to discuss the modalities of the Thursday’s session. The meeting was held without the presence of the heads of the parliamentary groups of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Vetevendosje movement and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA).

President of the Serbian List Aleksandar Jablanovic, who does not recognize the decision on his removal, yesterday could not say whether the representatives of this List would prevent the eventual ratification of the Kosovo membership in UNESCO, in the Assembly of Kosovo.

Deposition of Aleksandar Jablanovic from the helm of the Serbian List had shown how deep divisions are on Vulin’s and Vucic’s people in Kosovo and Metohija. There is no bigger harmony in the Serbian Government than between the Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and Minister for Labor Aleksandar Vulin, however there is no bigger division between Vucic’s and Vulin’s people from the Serbian List in the Kosovo parliament, which can even jeopardize the creation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities.

The Serbian List caucus whip in the Kosovo parliament Slavko Simic rejected today as untruthful claims of Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic that they have joined the opposition in its boycott of the work of the Kosovo parliament, and said that discussion over the Association/Community of Serb municipalities was not on the parliament’s agenda.

Strengthening of nationalism in multi-ethnic Kosovo should not happen, said Serb MP in the Kosovo parliament from the ranks of the Serbian List and chairperson of the Progressive Democratic Party, Nenad Rasic, and added that this was the reason for the boycott of the work of parliament of some Serb MPs.
