A train that on Saturday, 14 January, went from Belgrade to Mitrovica, was funded by the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, writes Politika.

This train, how Politika writes, will not go to Mitrovica, due to the safety of passengers and workers of Serbian Railways, but will transport passengers from Kraljevo to Požega.

The train will be used and for other lines, to make it possible for other people to see it in Serbia.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland that "peace and stability have the greatest importance."

In this regard, Vucic added, he was "also ready to establish a hotline between Belgrade - Pristina.

Vucic told TV Pink that he had "many important discussion for Serbia at the World Economic Forum," and underlined that he believes "we will have the strength to calm down certain things - even those that were under no influence of ours whatsoever."

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic on Tuesday in Belgrade received U.S. Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott.

Nikolic told him that he "understands the U.S. is unconditionally supporting a thing whose creation it directly influenced," and that Washington "caused a lot of trouble by exercising its will."

The president also expressed his hope that such conduct would stop when the new U.S. administration takes over.

An armed conflict in the middle of Europe was averted over the weekend, says Sergei Zheleznyak, international secretary of the ruling United Russia party.

He said peace was preserved on Saturday "only thanks to the peacefulness and the strong nerves exhibited by Serbia's leadership and Aleksandar Vucic personally."

Russian Foreign Minister on Tuesday said that a new war in the Balkans must be avoided, and that Albanian forces should not be in northern Kosovo and Metohija.

Speaking during his annual news conference in Moscow, Lavrov touched on the latest tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.

"The forces of Kosovo Albanians should not be present in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, which is inhabited by Serbs," said Lavrov.

EU foreign policy Chief Federica Mogherini was "extremely worried" as the situation with the Belgrade-Mitrovica train "could have escalated."

Mogherini said this on Monday afternoon while addressing reporters after a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

Opposition DS party leader Dragan Šutanovac has accused President Tomislav Nikolić of "fueling further conflict and leading Serbs in Kosovo into new risks."

According to Sutanovac, Nikolic is doing this with his "warmongering statements." 

European Commissioner Johannes Hahn says that "must not be endangered what has already been achieved in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina," and that “must be looking forward, not backward."

"Thanks to the wisdom and the desire to avoid conflicts and preserve peace Serbia managed to do that," PM Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday evening in Belgrade.

Speaking about the incidents in Kosovo over a passenger train traveling from Belgrade to Kosovska Mitrovica, Vucic, who was a guest on a TV Pink talk show, added:

"A good number of Serbs are angry that we did not push the train to Kosovska Mitrovica, we could have done that, but there would have been dead on both sides."
