Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic commented in Sarajevo on joint foreign policy of Pristina and Tirana and his earlier statement that Serbia could do the same with Republic of Srpska by saying “we could, why not,” B92 reports.

Dacic made these remarks at the South-East European Cooperation Process (SEECP) Summit. Asked to comment on the absence of Kosovo and Albanian delegations from the summit, Dacic said that in 2014 a decision was made, in line with the Brussels agreement, to enable Pristina participation in line with the agreed conditions.

Pristina can not conduct its foreign policy independently because Kosovo and Metohija are integral part of Serbia, Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said, Tanjug news agency reported. He made these remarks commenting on Pristina-Tirana joint foreign policy agreement.

“Fiasco that so-called foreign policy of Pristina faces on a daily basis, starting from retraction of recognition by 13 states to rejection of membership in Interpol and other important world organizations obviously creates strong nervousness within their ranks,” Dacic told Sputnik portal.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said the agreement on common foreign policy of Pristina and Tirana and joint embassies is not naive. She added it is scandalous that there is no reaction of the US or the EU regarding that, Tanjug news agency reported.

“It is terrible that Pristina and Tirana have signed an agreement to have a common foreign policy now. This is not naive; this is rather serious. The scandal is that we have not seen yet any official reactions either by US or the EU,” Brnabic told TV Pink.

Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik has told Kosovo President Hashim Thaci in Tirana to stop mentioning the Serb Republic (RS). The RS is the Serb entity in BiH.

Western Balkans leaders have signed a declaration urging the EU to make its enlargement to the Western Balkans "a matter of geopolitical significance."

The leaders, gathered at the two-day Brdo-Brijuni Summit in Tirana, signed the declaration on Thursday, the Slovenian agency STA reported.
"The EU should keep in mind that the full integration of the Western Balkans into the European value system is an important a factor as the stability of Europe in general," the declaration said.

"You, Hashim, depend on us. I'm pleading with you to talk, not to be saying what you want, and what you don't want." Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said this to Kosovo President Hashim Thaci during a joint meeting within the Brdo-Brijuni summit held today in Tirana, Albania.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic said in Tirana on Thursday there would be nothing of the European Union's "sweet dreams" about the Western Balkans countries this summer, the FoNet news agency reported.

Addressing the Brdo – Brijuni summit in the Albanian capital, he predicted that Serbia and Montenegro would not open any new chapter in negotiations with the EU, the accession talks with

Albania and North Macedonia would not start, and nothing would happen regarding Bosnia.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was in Rome on Wednesday where he met with Italian Deputy PM and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini. According to announcements, Vucic discussed the Kosovo-Metohija issue with Salvini, whom he sees as one of Europe's most influential politicians.

Despite a differing stance on the Kosovo issue, Italy understands Serbia's position, Vucic said in Rome after the meeting. He added they had discussed the issue and that Salvini had told him Italy - which recognizes Kosovo - wanted to be a part of a solution and to help in every possible way.

Serbian authorities said Saturday their delegation has prevented Kosovo representatives from taking part in an international climate conference in Tirana.

The Serbian representatives insisted on the removal of Kosovo symbols from the conference, citing the UN Resolution 1244, which defines Kosovo as a United Nations territory and therefore it can only use the UN logo, not the Kosovo flag.

A customs unification between Pristina and Tirana represents a clear manifestation of a so-called “great-Albanian politics,” Srpska Lista said in a press statement, adding it reconfirms the necessity for an urgent meeting between Srpska Lista and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Radio kontakt plus reported.

Srpska Lista also said the customs unification is unacceptable and represents a product of a political violence in the Assembly of Kosovo.
