Twelve families of Egyptian community repatriated from Montenegro received on Monday keys to their new homes in the village of Klinafc, Klina municipality. Their houses were constructed with funds from European Union, while the project was implemented by Klina Municipality and UN refugee agency, UNHCR.

Augustin Palokaj writes today that it is almost certain that the new EU foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, will insist on continuation of the Pristina-Belgrade dialogue and implementation of all agreements reached in the course of it. In fact, adds Palokaj, normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is also the condition the two countries have to meet in order to get closer to EU membership. This is particularly the case for Serbia which has already opened membership negotiations.

Kosovo political analyst, Fatmir Sheholi, believes that representative of the Government of Kosovo will lead the political dialogue, and representative of the Self-determination will be at the forefront of technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, which will be soon continued. He rejected the ambiguity, caused by the attitude of Self-determination, that Belgrade should not participate in the dialogue, but only representatives of Kosovo Serbs, the EU and European Commission.

BRUSSELS -- Johannes Hahn has been appointed as EU's commissioner for neighborhood policy and enlargement negotiations.

This new office was introduced instead of the commissioner for enlargement, that was until now occupied by Stefan Fule.

Hahn is considered a very experienced diplomat when it comes to relations between the European Union and the Balkans.

New European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has recently twice stated that the EU would not accept any new members during his five-year term in office.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric expects the European Union to give a positive assessment of all Belgrade has done in the dialogue with Pristina so far.

Serbian formula "Both the EU and Russia", by which Belgrade answered to the Ukrainian crisis, so far, has proved as a very good policy, but, according to analysts, it is unlikely that Serbia will be able to keep this position forever. One of the reasons for this opinion is that these days Brussels announced a new, third round of sanctions against Moscow. This means that the Ukrainian crisis enters a new phase, in which the dispute between Russia on one side and Brussels and Washington on the other will be more severe than so far.

BELGRADE -- The European Union has defined what it seeks from Serbia, when it comes to Russia, as a matter of "solidarity or active neutrality," said Tanja Miščević.

Miščević heads the Serbian team in membership negotiations with the EU.

Josip Juratovic, member of the German Bundestag, stated that Pristina was the least to impede Serbia in its path towards EU.
