The Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija confirmed to Tanjug implementation of the agreements on telecommunications and the judiciary had been addressed on Monday, the first day of the talks, and that Belgrade's delegation once again raised with EU officials the issue of implementing the agreement on forming the Community of Serb Municipalities.

Many in the West are more nervous about the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue than the Serbs or the Albanians are, and I do not know why, as we must speak to each other and solve problems, which is what we are doing, says Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic.

I do not understand why they are in such a rush or why someone wants to accelerate processes, Vucic said at the Ubersee business club in Hamburg Monday.

Director of the Kosovo Police for Mitrovica region Nehat Thaçi, arrested by Serbian police in late September at the administrative crossing Končulj ,will be heard today at the Special Court in Belgrade.

Nehat Thaçi (40) is suspected of the crime of terrorism.

If Serbia gives “Telekom Srbija” to Kosovo, it will be the prelude to give them other Serbia’s property in Kosovo and Metohija, which is the biggest fear of the authorities in Serbia, writes Serbian daily “Kurir” citing a source in the government. According to the latest estimates, it is a sum of more than 2 billion euros.

The amount includes the value of EPS in Kosovo – 1.2 billion euros, then mining 577.5 million euros, then Telekom, which is estimated to about 31.5 million euros, etc.

The Belgrade Security Forum will take place next week in the Serbian capital, October 12-14.

Belgrade's delegation said it was satisfied with an agreement reached in Brussels on Thursday during a technical round of the EU-sponsored Kosovo dialogue.

According to them, the deal "prevents the abolition of Serbian license plates in Kosovo."

Director of the Balkan group from Pristina Naim Rashiti says that the process of normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo fell into great difficulties due to problems with the implementation of the agreements reached, but also due to political developments in Kosovo and in Serbia.

"This led to the fact that Prime Ministers of the two countries were not able to continue the dialogue," said Rashiti to Radio Free Europe.

Serbian mobile operator in October will be licensed in Kosovo, but only with limited operations, said on Saturday President of the Board of Directors of the Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal communications, Kreshnik Gashi.

A new round of the EU-facilitated technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina began in EU's External Action Service headquarters in Brussels Wednesday.
Sources close to Belgrade's delegation told Tanjug the topic of the opening day of the three-day discussions would be the implementation of an agreement on free movement - more specifically, the issue of registration plates for vehicles from Kosovo's territory.

Pope Francis "should visit Belgrade and Pristina within the next year," the Belgrade-based Danas daily reported on Wednesday.
