The office for Kosovo and Metohija states that Assistant Director of the Office in charge of the protection of cultural heritage, Dusan Jovovic was not allowed today to enter Kosovo through Jarinje crossing, reported Serbian media.

The Office for KiM press release stated that Jovovic planned to visit two Serbian monasteries in Kosovo, where the Office funded the construction of a monastery lodgings and an art workshop.

We are facing difficult talks with the West, which expects a swift resolution of the Kosovo issue, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Belgrade based TV Prva this morning.

Serbian media quotes Vucic as saying that "it is not only a matter of deadline, it is a matter of substance when it comes to KiM", emphasizing that "the problem is what we will agree".

Official Belgrade will react to Pristina’s travel ban on Serbian officials, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Thursday.

Pristina’s behaviour affects regional cooperation, security and ties, she said and added that the Kosovo authorities have stepped up what she said are provocations including the ban on all Serbian officials traveling to Kosovo.

“That is something that we will react to,” Brnabic said.

On the occasion of the new Pristina ban to Serbia's officials to enter Kosovo, thus violating the agreements reached so far, Brussels responded to the Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.

- We expect all agreements reached within the framework of the EU-mediated dialogue to be respected and implemented, including an agreement on official visits - spokesman for the High Representative Mogherini, Maja Kocijancic responded to the Vecernje Novosti question to comment on the latest prohibition of the Pristina authorities.

Serbian state broadcaster RTS reports that Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric told reporters during a visit to the Belgrade City Museum that Pristina's decision is the last wedge in the coffin of the idea of dialogue, a terrible slap to the international community, a blow to the foundation of freedom of movement and all European principles.

Pristina's decision to ban entry to Serbian officials to Kosovo is unprecedented, said Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

He told Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti that the decision is another slap, not to Belgrade, but above all the European Union and the international community, which shamelessly is silent to the violation of all civilization norms that have been practiced for years by Ramush Haradinaj and Hashim Thaci.

President of Serbia in today’s press conference told reporters that the situation in northern Kosovo, was increasingly more difficult, while the political-security situation in his view is very complex.

He says that the biggest problem with the supply is caused by Pristina’s tariffs, i.e. 100 per cent on goods from central Serbia.

B92 portal reported that Ivan Todosijevic said that Pristina aim was to intimidate Kosovo Serbs by organized attacks and fabricated indictments, along with other forms of pressure.

"That is why this indictment does not present personal assault but an assault on the Serbs in general, primarily in the north of Kosovo and Metohija", Ivan Todosijevic, member of the Serbian List leadership says, commenting on the indictment that Pristina authorities had raised against him as a consequence of his denial of ''Racak massacre''.

The Serbian List says that announcements of calling for an international arrest warrant have no legal significance but represent a political attack on the deputy leader of the List Milan Radoicic, reports KIM radio.

The Serbian List says that Pristina is not a member of the Interpol, as it is not a member of the UN, therefore cannot call an international warrant, rather UNMIK must do it.
