The issue of Kosovo and Metohija has been included back on the agenda of the UN Security Council. The next session that will consider a report on the situation in the southern Serbian province has been scheduled for November 14.

This has been confirmed for Tanjug by First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

"The program of the SC's work for November has been adopted, where a session dedicated to KiM (Kosovo and Metohija) is back on the agenda, and scheduled for November 14," he said.

Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin emphasized in Beijing that after NATO bombed Serbia without a UN Security Council decision, international law died.

Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes on Wednesday that the UK, USA, France and Sweden are trying to keep any story about Kosovo, including Pristina's steps towards the formation of an 'army', away from the UN Security Council.

According to the daily, these four countries try to prevent including of the discussion on Kosovo' situation into agenda of the next session of the Council, scheduled for 8th November.

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.

According to Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti, during the upcoming visit of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Beijing next week, the business of the century will be concluded, adding that a financial package with more than ten contracts will be initialled.

The dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina continues in less than a month in Brussels, Belgrade-based daily Blic writes.

According to the newspaper, which cited top government circles, India's Vice President Venkaiah Naidu is coming to Belgrade. After that, Blic said, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic should meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

"This meeting has already been agreed, it only remains unknown whether the two presidents will meet in Moscow or in Vladivostok," the daily's source said.

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.

In a press statement issued this week, Fatherland Movement pointed out that “the message of Chinese Ambassador to Belgrade Li Manchang to the Serbian authorities not to hurry to resolve the status of Kosovo and Metohija is a sincere and friendly advice”, because “they waited for nearly a hundred years to take back Macau from the Portuguese and Hong Kong from the British and that Resolution 1244 clearly states that Kosovo and Metohija is part of the Republic of Serbia,” NSPM political portal reported.
