Serbian President, aware of the content of the Brussels Agreement, is trying to distance himself from the Government, and approach the voters who have been betrayed with the empty stories of entry in the EU and cooperation with the West. The government will again ignore Nikolic’s proposal, as last time, and he will say that at least he offered something.  This will distract both parts of the electorate - the pro-European and the Euro-skeptic.

Tanja Miscevic, head of Serbia's negotiating team with the EU, said  that she expects that Chapter 35 on Kosovo will be opened shortly after the continuation of the dialogue on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina. After one or two rounds of the dialogue on normalization of the relations with Pristina, which will be held at the highest political level, I expect that Chapter 35 on Kosovo will be opened, and this will include monitoring of everything that was agreed in Brussels, Miscevic said for Belgrade TV Pink. The implementation of the Brussels

"Brussels Agreement reflects the reality which is: the EU understood and accepted the fact that Serbia has not recognized Kosovo's independence, as well that we have to accept the fact that many states have recognized it," said Jadranka Joksimovic, Minister for European Integration of Serbia.  She said that the Brussels Agreement was the best possible solution. "Not perfect, but good compared to a policy which resulted in situation that whatever we did was wrong.

The companies which to date have not submitted requests for Kosovo licenses will not be able to import goods to the north from tomorrow.

The British Ambassador to Kosovo, Ian Cliff said in an interview for Radio Kosova, that it is true that European Union (EU) is being ‘soft’ with Serbia - when it comes to the issues related to Kosovo.  Cliff said that this is happening because of the five member states that have not recognized Kosovo and they agree with Serbia’s position on the matter.

To which extent a new document, announced by the Serbian President Nikolic, can go out from the framework of Brussels Agreement, whose full implementation is condition for continuing Serbia's European integration? Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) believes that document presents the upgrade of the process, which should prepare Serbia for all the surprises on the road to the EU.

The dialog of the delegation of Belgrade and Pristina will resume in Brussels on February 9, it has been confirmed by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic. He has specified that in the next round of the talks he would be joined by Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, while the other side will be represented by Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa and their Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci. Vucic has added that he discussed that subject with EU High Representative Federica Mogherini.

Marko Djuric says the Brussels agreement should be respected and inflammatory rhetoric avoided when speaking about the community of Serb municipalities. The head of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija also called for honoring of the coalition agreement on which the current Kosovo government is based. He was reacting to a statement by the Kosovo minister in charge of the dialogue with Belgrade, Edita Tahiri, concerning the future community of Serb municipalities. "Belgrade encourages pluralism of opinion among the province's officials that entails that some of the ministers
