Serb politician from Kosovo and Metohija, Rada Trajkovic thinks it is normal to have disagreements within the US administration over the way on how Serbs and Albanians would come to an agreement, Danas daily reports.

She added, that the State Department, maybe supports a compromise solution reached by Belgrade and Pristina. However, according to her, this does not mean that Congress and the Senate and other institutions these solutions would need to go through would make no pressure and decide otherwise, Trajkovic explained.

Accidentally or intentionally, a letter from former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Hayle on the withdrawal of the UNMIK mission from Kosovo coincided with the adoption of laws in the Kosovo Assembly, which will allow Pristina to form its own army, writes today Belgrade-based daily Blic.

German parliamentarian Peter Beyer thinks Kosovo is "factually independent and Serbia should recognize de jure the sovereign state of the Republic of Kosovo."

NATO supports the development of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) within its current mandate. The KSF is a professional force and a source of regional stability, said a NATO official in Brussels to Belgrade-based daily Danas, who wanted to remain anonymous and stressed that "it is important to say that when launching any initiatives regarding the mandate of the Kosovo Security Force, it should be fully consulted with all communities in Kosovo , as well as all NATO allies."

Announcements of establishing Kosovo army, under that or some other name, is something that causes fear and anxiety, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said, adding he hopes for some sort of Belgrade-Pristina dialogue continuation in order to decrease tension because of such things, Tanjug news agency reported.

Vucic made these remarks responding to the journalist’s question to comment on Pristina announcements they would make a decision this week on forming the army, either with that or some other name.
