Oliver Ivanovic, president of the Citizens' Initiative SPD to Danas from prison in Mitrovica

Pristina, Mitrovica, Belgrade - Guarantees for detained Serbs from northern Kosovo, submitted by the Government of Serbia on February 10 to EULEX, all international bodies in Kosovo, as well as ambassadors of Quint countries in Belgrade, are valid during the whole procedure. We'll be seeking of EULEX, which is responsible for the respect of human rights and international standards, to accept guarantees during the procedure - the Office of the Government of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija told Danas.

Raising numbers of Kosovo Albanians who are joining Jihad is, for sure, a worrying symptom of radicalization in Balkans, particularly on the territory of former Yugoslavia, along with the foreign influence, which was crucially affected by continuous disruption of the social, political, spiritual and moral values, inspired by shakes and clashes following Yugoslavia’s disintegration.

Ukraine and the Middle East, being the two big geopolitical hotspots, are crucially influencing stability in Balkans and overall position of Serbia. Our energy safety, export, investment, existence of the maneuvering space in foreign policy will depend on development of the crisis in Ukraine.

Implementation of the Brussels Agreement is one of the three areas for which Belgrade, as announced, will receive a positive assessment in the annual report of the European Commission, which should appear in the first half of October. 

The establishment of a special court for KLA crimes depends on the pace of the formation of new Kosovo government, which should sign an agreement on the establishment probably with the Netherlands, where will be located a part of the court.

New Kosovo government should be formed until the beginning of October the latest. Besides the post-election coalition of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), movement ‘Self-Determination’, the Seriban List and representatives of all minorities should enter too. Self-Determination could be replaced with Thaci’s Democratic Party of Kosovo (DPK) under the strong pressure of international community – said political analyst Fatmir Sheholli to daily Danas.

As with many other issues in relation with the EU and America, the key is that government in Belgrade is determined to persist under heavy pressures from Brussels and Washington, in implementing its policy. If the Serbian government makes it clear that any pressure would be counterproductive and possibly cause consequences to the interests of the EU, especially on Kosovo and Metohija, Serbia could defend the current position - said in an interview Obrad Kesic, head of Office of Republika Srpska in USA, and former political analyst.

The statement of the prosecutor of the EU Special Investigation Team, Clint Williamson, on the findings of an investigation into the trafficking in human organs in Kosovo, although with the status “temporary announced until a special court for the crimes of the KLA will be established”, provides space for diplomatic and political action of official Belgrade in the fight for Kosovo, believe our diplomatic sources. 

Why Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic during a lengthy speech on the occasion of the first 100 days of the government, (for which, as "the best location" was selected successful farm of the family Mužlai in Backo Gradište) did not mention the government's activities in Kosovo and Metohija?
