Belgrade based daily Blic reports today that Serbia could have an early parliamentary election in the spring. Blic learns that the president of Serbia and the Serbian Progressive Party, Aleksandar Vucic, has talked with his associates and is getting closer to making such a decision.

EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn says that within the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, "territorial exchange" or "border correction" is not excluded as "the final part of the puzzle", reports Radio television of Serbia, quoting the FYROM's news agency MIA.

The head of Serbia’s Parliament Kosovo Committee said that a final stage of Belgrade – Pristina dialogue was approaching and that the diplomatic activities should increase, adding that Serbia would not allow Kosovo to become a UN member.

Milovan Drecun, of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), added that the final status discussion demanded a new format of negotiations.

The proposal of the Statute of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) should be presented on the 4th of August in Brussels. That deadline was given to Pristina when the Serbs, five years after the signing of the Brussels Agreement, announced that they would form the Community themselves, reports Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said there are no proposals for a permanent solution for Kosovo, and that he will inform the public as soon as he has anything new.

''Whatever we do, we have to go to a referendum. Regardless of constitutional changes we make - those need to go for a referendum,'' Vucic told reporters during a visit to the factory in Zemun.

Metropolitan Amfilohije Radovic, a Serbian Orthodox bishop, the current head of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro, said on Thursday that who called a referendum on Kosovo status “has no sound mind,” Kossev website reported.

The foreign policy editor at the weekly NIN Zoran Preradovic assesses that the pessimism of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic after the new round of dialogue in Brussels says that "not much can be pulled out'' from the negotiations on the issue of Kosovo, reports regional broadcaster N1.

The Serbian President is planning to hide behind the will of the people expressed at a referendum on Kosovo after years of taking decisions on his own, leading opposition politician Sanda Raskovic Ivic told Belgrade daily Danas.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced that people would declare themselves on the future of Kosovo, so one could ask what the stance of Serbian citizens in relation to Kosovo is, TV Prva reports on Sunday.

The TV Prva crew conducted a “mini referendum” on Belgrade streets, offering three possibilities to respondents – recognition of independence, frozen conflict and division, and presented some of the citizens’ responses.

Leader of New Serbia (NS) Party Velimir Ilic told FoNet news agency there is not room to manipulate with the issue of Kosovo status and it is necessary to call referendum where citizens would decide whether or not Serbia would recognize Kosovo.

No government has the right to make such decision and give away part of the Serbian territory on behalf of the people, by recognizing Kosovo on behalf of the Serbian citizens, Ilic further said.
