As announced by the "Serbian alternative", a group of citizens who are dissatisfied with the work of Serbian political representatives have decided to form the association and to highlight the problems of Serbs in Kosovo.
Unknown persons stole eight cows, property of Belošević family, in a village of Crkolez in the municipality of Istok/Istog, said president of interim authority of this municipality Mališa Djuric.
Six members of Belošević family live from the sale of milk and dairy products, reports Srna.
Djuric said that the thieves destroyed the outer wall of the barn and added that the police conducted an investigation.
President of the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) Slaviša Kokeza said that the FSS will send a letter to the Union of European football associations (UEFA) regarding the decision to allow Kosovo’s clubs to participate in the European cups. “We will send the letter, and in regards to other issues we will consult and do the things which we can. We will fight till the end. I learned that some countries from the region already sent the letters to the UEFA” said Kokeza at a press conference in Stara Pazova.
In a statement for RTV KiM, former MP in Kosovo Assembly Rada Trajkovic criticized the work of representatives of the Serbian list in the Kosovo institutions, noting that they do not initiate the issues of vital importance for their community. Moreover, they act as a “silent observers.” “We see that Kosovo Assembly is not functioning for months. It does not work because the opposition and the ruling parties do not vote for a quorum, while the Serbs behave as everything is pretty well.
As of next season, according to the decision at the meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee in Basel, Kosovo football clubs will play in the qualifications for the Champions League and the League of Europe. Kosovo has received two seats, which means that the current football champion in Kosovo, Ferronikeli, will participate in the first qualifying round of the Champions League, while the winner in the Cup will be qualified for the League of Europe.
Occupied property, personal documents, health care and education are the biggest obstacles for the return of displaced persons to Kosovo, said Dalibor Jevtić, Kosovo Minister of Communities and Returns.
After a meeting with MPs of the Serbian List, Mayor of Obilić/Obiliq Xhafer Gashi said that Serbs can return to this city. "All people who lived here before can return. We will do everything to work together and ensure a better life for all our citizens."
Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa stated that he will request inclusion of the opposition parties and NGOs in the Brussels negotiations. With regard to his statement, chairman of the Committee for Kosovo in the Serbian Assembly Milovan Drecun said that it is impossible to include other participants in the dialogue. He added that in this case the opposition movement Self-determination, whose members are throwing tear gas in parliament and on the streets, would participate and consequently oppose any agreement with Belgrade.
Boycott of the population census in 2011 had an impact on the budget allocations for the municipalities. Considering the disproportionately lower number of people compared to the real number, almost all municipalities with Serbian majority receive less money from the Government of Kosovo. Mayor of Gracanica municipality, Vladeta Kostic, recently requested from the Kosovo Government and the international community holding of the census in that municipality.
When asked whether Kosovo Serbs should have a Kosovo passport, or wait visa liberalization for the passports of Coordination Directorate, Minister Ljubomir Maric said that the international community will not allow such division. "Everyone should have the right to choose. If Kosovo passports will get visa-free regime, I don’t see any reason why the passports issued by the Coordination Directorate would be an exception. That would be a negative message to the citizens who live in Kosovo and have passports of the Republic of Serbia," said Maric.
