Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told RTS that at this moment USA and Russia absolutely support the Brussels dialogue and are ready to accept a solution that is reached in the agreement. We are proposing peaceful and compromise solution for the future of Serbia, Dacic added.

Serbian politicians do not understand Kosovo Serbs, they do not understand what division would mean in practice, and it would mean increasing possibility for a conflict, Director of Interethnic Relations Forum Dusan Janjic told Danas daily.

“This is not a simple thing. Serbs from the north have their suitcases packed already since they know it very well, clashes occur when territories are divided or changed,” Janjic said.

He added implementation of the wish for division of the exchange (of territories) of the Serbian authorities in fact is not realistic.

“I am sad to see the slanderous attacks on Father Sava,” USA Ambassador in Pristina, Greg Delawie wrote on his Twitter profile, KoSSev portal reported.

This message came after headlines appeared in the Kosovo media linking Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery Sava Janjic with Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan in Pristina, with video recording showing Arkan, but not with Father Sava Janjic.

EC spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic says the EU expects all agreements reached within the Kosovo dialogue to be implemented "without delay."

"Kosovo gave the mandate to the Steering Team to draft the statute of the Community, that is, the Association (of Serb Municipalities, ZSO), which is in progress and will take time," Kocijancic told Tanjug on Wednesday.

Programme adopted by the Alliance for Serbia at the recent gathering on the Zlatibor Mountain contains 30 topics and Danas daily reported it had an insight into one of the working versions of this paper.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic opined today the only goal of Pristina is to take over the northern Kosovo, that the Association/Community of Serb-Majority Municipalities (ZSO) does not interest them, while the deadline for ZSO expires on August 4, but it is clear, as he said in the past, nothing would come of that, TV Most reported.

President Vucic made these remarks in Ostruznica where he was visiting the construction works on a bypass road in the vicinity of Belgrade.

Professor of the Southeast European Studies at the University of Graz, Florian Bieber assessed that Serbia-Kosovo agreement must lead toward abolishment of the UN SC Resolution 1244, Beta news agency is reporting.

According to Bieber the agreement should lead toward a new UN SC resolution that would either replace or abolish Resolution 1244, thus providing Kosovo to become a UN member. However, British journalist and analyst Tim Judah thinks that the text of the agreement does not have to be in contradiction with the Resolution 1244.

At least six EU member states consider it premature to lift the visa regime for Kosovo residents, a diplomatic source in Brussels told Sputnik on Thursday.

"According to my information, in general, there is unanimity at the European Parliament, while at the Council six countries such as Spain, Greece, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Denmark, object to this," the source said.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told TV Pink if Pristina wishes to reach a compromise with Belgrade it cannot put forward maximal requests, such as the one on Kosovo recognition.

Commenting on latest Brussels meeting and Hashim Thaci’s statements after it, Dacic said it was a performance for the Kosovo public, given that entire Pristina leadership came to Brussels.

The latest Brussels meeting between the Serbian and Kosovo Presidents, Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci, ended quickly and without visible progress towards the normalisation of relations.

The EU-mediated meeting on Wednesday in Brussels between the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia ended with the two sides remaining entrenched in their positions, and without progress towards the signing of a legally binding agreement on the normalisation of relations.
