Head of the Serbian negotiation team, Marko Djuric told Danas daily Serbian delegation resolutely requests from Pristina and European Union to establish the Association of Serb Municipalities, but that “some weird people” from Pristina delegation arrived to Brussels unready to talk about that.

They came here unready to implement the Association of Serb Municipalities, and expected that we give them everything. It does not work like that, Djuric told journalists in Brussels.

Serbia has received an ultimatum - "to recognize Kosovo in exchange for the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO)."

At least that's what the press is reporting this Thursday, Prva TV said.

According to the media, the Serbian president "received such an offer" from diplomats in Berlin, Paris, London, and Washington - while this has been "confirmed to him" these last days during the meetings in New York City.

"No further progress has been achieved" in this week's technical level dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, the European Commission said on Wednesday.

A statement noted that "chief negotiators from Belgrade and Pristina Marko Djuric and Avni Arifi, together with their respective teams, met in Brussels March 21-23."

Belgrade and Pristina technical teams headed by Marko Djuric and Avni Arifi, divided into working groups disused yesterday in Brussels implementation of the agreement on integrated border management, Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti reported.

Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Đurić pointed out that in relations between Belgrade and Pristina, a permanent and sustainable solution is needed for the stability of this part of Europe.

In an interview for Vienna based “Der Standard” Marko Đurić also said that if a referendum takes place, it will not be regarding a question on Kosovo’s independence. He recalled that an internal dialogue on Kosovo has already been launched in Serbia, involving hundreds of experts from all fields.

Leader of the opposition Movement of Free Citizens (PSG), Sasa Jankovic told Serbian media it is an illusion (to believe) Kosovo issue can be resolved with a signature of one man, if that signature is not a result of a democratic process and does not contribute to the sense of relief among people.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli has complained about Ivica Dacic during a recent informal meeting of "the Western Balkans 6" held in Sarajevo.

According to Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, Pacolli said that Serbian foreign minister was "always tripping him up."

"People from Kosovo are young, and cannot travel freely. Serbia makes problems every day. I travel and fight to get recognitions of Kosovo - and Ivica brings them down," Pacolli reportedly told his colleagues as Dacic left the room during a working lunch.

Chairman of the NATO Military Committee Petr Pavel has told B92.net that cooperation with the European Union and NATO "goes hand in hand".

Speaking to Filip Cukanovic after a meeting with Serbian Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin, Pavel also said he was "always satisfied after meeting with partner countries" and that "there is a plan for the future".

Serbian Prime Minister, Ana Brnabic says she hopes the European Union will recognize the huge wish, work and flexibility of Serbia to resolve the issue of Kosovo and Metohija.

At the same time, the PM Brnabic stressed that Serbia is "not a country that is economically, politically and socially weak, and cannot be blackmailed."

The Western Balkans "clearly see much more in us than we ourselves see in our Union," says European Commission (EC) President Jean Claude Juncker.

In his address to the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Juncker stressed that "each of the Western Balkan partners must continue their reform path, especially when it comes to the rule of law and fundamental freedoms and values."
