Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CAM) that was formed in south Serbia is not the same as the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM) which is agreed during Brussels dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, stated Maja Kocijancic, spokesperson of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini.

The paper’s Brussels-based correspondent, Augustin Palokaj, in an opinion piece today writes that the European Union considers Kosovo as a safe place of origin in terms of access to asylum seekers from Kosovo. But, according to him, the EU and many member states consider the security situation in Kosovo still "fragile". “The EU also faces a logical question: If Kosovo is a safe place, then why it needs foreign soldiers and police officers.

Maja Kocijancic, spokesperson to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said that the EU is not aware about the suspension of the agreement on vehicle insurance. She said the signatory parties have agreed to resolve all issues through an implementation committee and “this is the forum where issues relating to vehicle insurance should be sent to.”

The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, stressed during a press conference on Monday morning that an extraordinary political progress is registered in the region, from the Berlin Conference to the Vienna one. “What is worth stressing is that we have entered a phase which serves to increase the focus on advancement of the economic and financial support for the region,” said Rama. He further informed that the parties involved in the process initiated by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, agree to finance and invest on regional infrastructure.

A decision on a snap parliamentary election does not depend on leaders of the EU, but solely on Serbian politicians, and the EU is convinced that Serbia will stay the reform course and remain committed to resolving the Kosovo issue, EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy Johannes Hahn says.

In an interview to Belgrade-based daily Danas, Hahn says that he will propose opening an initial negotiation chapter in late 2015, noting that Serbia has no yet finished work on Chapters 23 and 24.

A declaration on bilateral issues has been included in the conclusions of the Summit on the Western Balkans held in Vienna, Austria.

The declaration was signed by regional foreign ministers who took part in the gathering.

A meeting on the construction of Nis-Pristina-Durres highway was held Thursday ahead of the Western Balkans Summit in Vienna.

The meeting was attended by Serbian and Albanian Prime Ministers, Aleksandar Vucic and Edi Rama respectively, Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa, Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz, President of the European Investment Bank Werner Hoyer and President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Suma Chakrabarti.

Director of the Centre for Foreign Policy Aleksandra Joksimovic assessed, on the occasion of reaching an agreement in the negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels, that this was the last moment for all to achieve a "win-win" situation. She also said that the agreements opened the door to Belgrade for negotiations with the EU.

- The Serbian government expects of the European officials at the Summit on the Western Balkans, which is held on 27 August in Vienna, to disclose that joint projects of Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina have entered the European transport network, or that the European Union accepted these projects as priorities.

The Brussels Based correspondent of this daily, Augustin Palokaj, numbers the senior political figures of Kosovo, their assistants and the technical teams that are involved in the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, stressing that their frequent traveling to Brussels costs a fortune to Kosovo. “The problem with this dialogue stands in the fact that it has started with many obscurities and propaganda, without verifying mechanisms of what should implement, and it will continue like this without a set date for its conclusion,” writes Palokaj.
