"The leadership in Belgrade will bear terrible pressure in the upcoming weeks, which Belgrade itself may have partially induced," said journalist Milivoje Mihajlovic.

Ivica Dacic says he, bearing in mind his experience, believes that a part of the international community and Albanians from Kosovo are lying to President Vucic, reports B92 portal, quoting Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

The First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister told RTS that the Albanians do not want compromise, but only recognition (of Kosovo). "There is no blackmail that can force Serbia to recognize an independent Kosovo," he said.

It’s been two years since the signing of the Agreement for the Normalization of Relations between Kosovo and Serbia.
The accord was signed on April 19, 2013 in Brussels by the prime ministers of Kosovo and Serbia, Hashim Thaci and Ivica Dacic, with the brokerage of the EU head of for foreign affairs, Catherine Ashton. The text contains 15 points.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, today met Catherine Ashton who is concluding her mandate as EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security. Thaci praised Ashton’s role in achieving the Brussels Agreement just as former Serbian Prime Minister, Ivica Dacic, did yesterday. “I met Baroness Ashton today in Brussels to discuss the political situation and hail her extraordinary role in the achievement of the Brussels Agreement”, Thaci wrote on Facebook.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, said today in Brussels that he assured the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, Catherine Ashton, the European Union and all allies, that Kosovo will continue the process of dialogue.

In a press conference following his meeting with Ashton, Thaci said, “Agreement with Serbia was not easy but was necessary”. He added, “Today, Serbs from the north are integrating into the society and institutions. Today, our peoples are looking to the future of Euro-Atlantic integration, which has not happened before.”

BRUSSELS - Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic will arrive in Brussels Tuesday for a farewell meeting with outgoing EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

Over the last two years, Ashton has facilitated the dialogue on normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, where Dacic participated as prime minister in the previous Serbian government.

Ashton’s place at the helm of the EU’s external action will be taken over by Federica Mogherini, former Italian foreign minister.

BRUSSELS - The EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Policy Catherine Ashton has welcomed the agreement reached earlier this week between Serbia's and Kosovo's power transmission companies with EU mediation.

"Through this agreement between the Transmission System Operators energy relations between Pristina and Belgrade will be normalised, and KOSTT can play its role of managing the high-voltage networks in Kosovo," Ashton said in a press release late Friday.

Implementation of the Brussels Agreement is one of the three areas for which Belgrade, as announced, will receive a positive assessment in the annual report of the European Commission, which should appear in the first half of October. 

Analyst Dusan Janjic said that Oliver Ivanovic, will have to await the establishment of a special unit, which is assumed to be formed by the end of the year, but says that he would not be surprised if it would happen in the spring.

The legal basis for the Community of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo will be established in the autumn, given that all the steps that lead to it will be carried out without a lot of political maneuvers. At first a new government in Pristina should be formed, so that its representatives, on a new round of dialogue in Brussels, could verify ZSO Statute. Then, the ZSO must be legally "covered" in the Kosovo parliament.
