Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Monday that the US representative to the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer told him two months ago that Washington expected Kosovo opposition politicians Albin Kurti and Isa Mustafa would form a new government, the Belgrade based news agency Beta reports.

"For the state and national interests of Serbia, for the realization of all our ideas and ideas about what to do in Kosovo - Serbs need to vote in Kosovo, they need to vote for the representatives of the Serbian List.

The situation around Kosovo has changed a lot, we can soon expect that the number of states that have recognized Kosovo will fall below half of the number of UN members, said Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports that Dacic said that President Aleksandar Vucic and himself spoke with representatives of 92 countries at the UN General Assembly.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says in New York that the number of countries withdrawing or suspending Kosovo's recognition will increase by year's end.

In other words, Dacic explains, the number of those who recognize Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence falls to less than half of UN members.

Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti claims that Kosovo President Hashim Thaci ''publicly promised in New York'' that the new government, once it is formed after the elections, will abolish 100% tariffs on goods from central Serbia.

''As Novosti unofficially finds out, Thaci said this on Sunday at a traditional informal dinner organised for the leaders of the Western Balkans by Federica Mogherini, on the margins of the session of the UN General Assembly,'' writes the daily.

Serbia aims to reduce the number of countries which recognise Kosovo’s independence to bellow a half of the UN member states and that will happen by the end of the year, Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has said on Wednesday, the Beta news agency reported.

His words came despite the newly appointed US special envoy for the Western Balkans Matthew Palmer’s warning to Belgrade to stop campaigning against Kosovo’s eventual membership to the international organisations.

Ivica Dacic, Serbia’s Foreign Minister, said on Tuesday the chance for resumption of the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue on the normalisation of relations appeared, but not before new Kosovo’s Government was formed after October 6 election, the FoNet news agency reported.

Speaking after meeting Matthew Palmer in Bled, Slovenia, at the sidelines of the Western Balkan leaders' strategic forum, Dacic said the American was “an old acquaintance, but that it won’t be easy for him.

The Head of Serbian diplomacy, Ivica Dacic, told Serbian public broadcaster RTS on Friday that this week he will say the name of the 15th country that withdrew the recognition of Kosovo.

Dacic said for RTS that in this moment less than 100 countries acknowledge ''the independence of so-called Kosovo''.
