Kosovo Minister of Administration and Local Self-government Ljubomir Maric condemned the attacks on the members of Serb community in Kosovo. "The coexistence of different ethnic groups is a reality and incidents, tensions and attacks of any kind are absolutely unacceptable," said Maric. He welcomed the swift response of the relevant authorities who detained one of the attackers, in the case of attack which happened two days ago in Pasjane.

Sixteen year-old Suncica Markovic from village Pasjane in Parteš/Partesh Municipality today was hit with the hand by an unknown man from a moving vehicle from which a loud Albanian music was heard. Incident took place in vicinity of the place where Zoran Kostic was stubbed last night.

Office for Kosovo strongly condemns the increasingly frequent attacks on Serbs in Kosovo, which, as stated, resulted in anxiety among Serbian community, particularly returnees. The aim of the attack was, as stated by the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, intimidation of Serbs and forcing them to permanently leave the ancestral homes.

On question “Whether you agree that Serbia recognizes Kosovo for the sake of the EU membership?”, three-quarters of young in Serbia replied “No”.

According to a poll carried out for Belgrade-based daily Politika between 25 and 29 April, on the sample of 800 young people aged between 18 and 25 years, 16 percent of respondents said that independence of Kosovo should be recognized, whereas 10 percent were not sure.

Association of Displaced Djakovica citizens strongly protest against the statements made during the unveiling of the monument in Djakovica/Gjakove on the Day of the Disappeared.

The Commemoration of the Day of missing persons in Gjakove/Djakovica was attended by Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, Assembly President Kadri Veseli, and the Mayor Mimoza Kusari.

Then, according to displaced Gjakove/Djakovica citizens the monument was unveiled only for the "victims of the Albanian people".

The container settlement in Gracanica is for six days without electricity. Unpaid bills are the reason, said KEDS. The residents, mostly displaced and socially vulnerable people, said that they have no money to pay the outstanding debt.

In this settlement currently live fifteen families which have no electricity since last Thursday.

The power distribution company said that the reason for the exclusion was big debt.

Serbia does not mind if Kosovo sign the SAA with the EU, said Milovan Drecun.

Drecun said that Serbia does not oppose that the European Union sign the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Kosovo. "Brussels Agreement stipulates that Serbia and Kosovo will not obstruct each other on the road to the EU. The EU is trying to stabilize the situation in Kosovo, let us remember the recent large migrations from Kosovo to the EU countries," said Drecun.

Participants at today’s debate in Čaglavica/Çagllavicë said that with the integration of northern Kosovo there are more donations along with more investments in development, however problems remain during implementation of projects.

At a debate organized by the School for Legal and Political Studies, in relation with the creation of the Special Court, the EU Special Representative Samuel Žbogar said that the time has come to find out the truth and added that Dick Marty’s report addresses few difficult issues for Kosovo.
