BELGRADE - Paris has made a historic mistake by recognizing Kosovo's independence, Aymeric Chauprade, European parliamentarian from France, has said, stressing that the 1999 NATO war against Serbia assisted the separatist tendencies of the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, and the European Union (EU) followed the policy pursued by the United States.

Kosovo can never join the EU because it is a hotbed of crime and is responsible for ethnic cleansing of Serbs and other non-Albanians, Chauprade said in an interview for Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti.

At the roundtable "Association/Community of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) and experiences of municipalities in the South", organized in Kosovska Mitrovica by the Centre for Community Development, Rada Trajkovic, president of NGO European Movement of Serbs, said that she expects the support of Belgrade, Kosovo Albanians and the international community, in regards to the formation of ZSO.

LONDON - Amnesty International (AI), a human rights NGO, states in its annual report on the human rights situation in Serbia that Serbs are still subject to attacks and other minorities discriminated against in Kosovo, and a special court to try former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is expected to be set up there as well.

SNS MP, Momir Stojanovic said that he had heard that for him was issued "red" Interpol warrant but that he hopes the reaction of the Serbian state.

"I hope that I have a state that will decide about such an arrest warrant, because aim of this warrant is to intimidate Serbs to return to Kosovo and Metohija and seize their properties," said Momir Stojanovic, who is the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for the control of the security services, reports Tanjug.

At least ten Kosovo Liberation Army members will stand trials in front of the special court for war crimes in Kosovo, which should be established soon, amongst whom and some from the very top.

Considering that their names are kept strictly confidential, public in Pristina speculates great deal about who will be targeted first of those investigated in relation with the organ trafficking, some are even whispering Hashim Thaci’s name.

Kosovo Deputy Foreign Minister Petrit Selimi in a talk show “Slobodno Srpski” said that Trepca Complex will not be the topic of the Brussels talks. "According to the Ahtisaari plan everything in Kosovo belongs to Kosovo. Kosovo ownership can only be discussed by the people who live in Kosovo, not Belgrade. With Belgrade we can talk about the debt - what Kosovo owes to Belgrade and vice versa," Selimi said. 

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said today that Serbia will do everything it takes in connection to waves of immigrants from Kosovo, when he receives from Brussels a clear position on this issue - to stop freedom of movement or not.

That was also discussed during a visit to Brussels, he said.

- I told them: You told us to let them go, we let them go, and you're saying now do not let them. We have no problem, we'll do what you want, just tell us what you want - the prime minister said.

Serbian Government has managed to strike the best possible agreement in Brussels which guarantees to Kosovo Serbs access to justice in Serbian language in institutions where most of judges will be Serbs, said Serbian Minister of Justice, Nikola Selakovic.

"We request for the Serbs from Djakovica to be free to go to the city where they were born," said Djokica Stanojevic, the President of the Association of Displaced from Djakovica/Gjakove to KIM radio.

Stanojevic said that the displaced Serbs from this city are aware that every visit to their native town Djakovica/Gjakove is a danger and the possibility of endangering lives and that is why he requested yesterday from representatives of the US Embassy in Pristina to enable them to attend the upcoming All Souls' Day on Saturday.

Pristina’s failure to act indirectly encourages mass exodus of Albanians, said President of the Serbian Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun. He added that the intention of Pristina is to politically abuse discontent of the people, which go in search for a better life, so that Brussels would pressure Belgrade to recognize Kosovo as a state. He said that it is a kind of blackmail which Pristina applied successfully since the arrival of the international community.
