Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said that UNMIK remains in Kosovo, that KFOR is the only armed force under the UNSC resolution and no other acts can be brought. He said and that Serbia will bring this attempt (to form the Kosovo army) to the Security Council session on 8th November.

Asked by the journalists whether he expects the Kosovo Army to be formed, Dacic said he hoped Pristina would be pressured to give up.

UN Secretary General can suggest changes to the composition of the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) including the end of the mission, but the decision must be made by the UN Security Council where the five permanent members, including Russia and China, have veto power, Beta news agency learned.

Serbian media covers and today the issue of the disclosure of the letter of the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki R. Haley, proposing the departure of UNMIK from Kosovo.

After yesterday's reports on the indignation of Serbian officials, today the media covers comments and opinions of people familiar with the Kosovo situation as well as international law.

Minister of Defense Aleksandar Vulin met on Monday in Belgrade with Chairman of the NATO Military Committee General Stuart Pеаch.

According to the Serbian government, Vulin said that Serbia is firmly committed to maintaining the position of military neutrality and that the Partnership for Peace (PfP) program is the optimal form of cooperation with that organization.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic did not achieve the goals he set on the eve of the visit, or he did not get "approval for his version of Kosovo's recognition," said today's Moscow daily Kommersant.

The newspaper states that the Serbian president often stays in Russia, "more often than any other president," adding that Putin is quite popular in the Balkans, and that another arrival in Moscow means a rise in popularity by several percent for the Serbian president.

The UN Security Council will in November discuss UN secretary-general's reports about Kosovo, writes Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti.

According to the newspaper, China returned the reports to the agenda of the Security Council, that will take over the body's presiding in November.
The article also specifies that two reports on Kosovo filed by UN chief António Guterres will be considered - covering the period from April 16 to July 15, and another from mid-July to mid-October.

Negotiations on Kosovo under the auspices of the EU have yielded no results, without US, Russia and China it is impossible to achieve a viable and applicable compromise between Belgrade and Pristina, said Minister of Innovation and Technological Development Nenad Popovic, adding that the issue of Kosovo slowly returns to the Security Council of the UN, the Serbian media reported.

EU High Representative Federica Mogherini announced on Friday that another meeting of the presidents, Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci during the Brussels dialogue will be held in September, prior to the start of the ministerial week of the UN Security Council in New York. However, diplomatic sources of Tanjug in the EU say it is uncertain whether there will the meeting, reports Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

Diplomatic sources state that the problem can be a timeframe, but also a justification for the meeting.

The United States, which will take over the presidency of the Security Council, will not include in the agenda in September a report by UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the situation in Kosovo, writes Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.

Guterres's regular report refers to the period from April 16 to July 15, 2018, and it was due to be debated in August, but the UK "took it off the table", the daily reported.

September could be a key month in resolving the Kosovo issue, writes the daily Blic.

The newspaper writes that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will travel to China after visiting to Kosovo, and will then go to New York, where he will speak at the United Nations.
As the solution enters the final stage, Serbia's president is in for a fierce diplomatic offensive throughout September, the daily said.
