Pristina has entered the red category with regards to air pollution, the air quality index supported by the US Embassy shows. The level of air pollution in Pristina has reached 161 which puts the Kosovo capital under the “unhealthy” category. Pristina Municipality did not comment on the recent figures saying it will come out with a report on the matter this Friday. At the same time, officials from the Green Party said the air pollution in Pristina is at an “alarming” scale.

Many in the West are more nervous about the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue than the Serbs or the Albanians are, and I do not know why, as we must speak to each other and solve problems, which is what we are doing, says Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic.

I do not understand why they are in such a rush or why someone wants to accelerate processes, Vucic said at the Ubersee business club in Hamburg Monday.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović told Tanjug that it is quite clear that there is no political will of Pristina to implement within a reasonable time fully what has been agreed, and that there are no decisions, especially when it comes to the formation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (ZSO).

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic says he will support the government unconditionally "if rejects as absurd" Pristina's conditions for continued dialogue.

In a statement for Friday's edition of the Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, Nikolic noted that the interim institutions in Pristina "wrongly appraised that the time is right to set conditions without which no further steps can be made in the (Kosovo) negotiations."

Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday expressed the suspicion that Pristina had set on its own the latest conditions for a continuation of the Brussels dialogue, which he said was not helping to solve problems, but escalating them further.

Vucic announced he would speak with EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini later in the day, with the Serbian government to also hold a session to discuss the issue.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić cancelled participation in the seminar of NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Pristina because at that time he will be at the session of the national and provincial governments in Novi Sad.

As previously RTK reported, Đurić has cancelled participation in this seminar because the invitation had been sent with the name of his function without the word "Metohija".

If Serbia gives “Telekom Srbija” to Kosovo, it will be the prelude to give them other Serbia’s property in Kosovo and Metohija, which is the biggest fear of the authorities in Serbia, writes Serbian daily “Kurir” citing a source in the government. According to the latest estimates, it is a sum of more than 2 billion euros.

The amount includes the value of EPS in Kosovo – 1.2 billion euros, then mining 577.5 million euros, then Telekom, which is estimated to about 31.5 million euros, etc.

The Belgrade Security Forum will take place next week in the Serbian capital, October 12-14. EWB, as one of the BSF's media partners, talked to Marko Đurić, director of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, also a participant in this year's BSF panel "The Belgrade - Pristina Dialogue and the EU Future".

Recently renovated and cleaned cemetery chapel in Pristina was turned into a public restroom and garbage dump, and several orthodox graves are overgrown with weeds, said the Dioceses of Raska and Prizren.

Such a situation exists despite the fact that municipal community service is allegedly in charge of taking care of the cemetery and that a paid cemetery guard is provided, says the Diocese.

Question of the temple of Christ the Saviour is a sensitive political issue that should be resolved in the Parliament of Kosovo, says the mayor of Pristina, Shpend Ahmeti visiting the show "Dogovor!?".

Ahmeti claims that he is not for the demolition of the temple, but he is committed to the fight against the injustice that was done during the Milošević regime, that seized 4.2 hectares of land from the University and gave it to Serbian Orthodox Church.
