Serbian media last night quoted the statement of the Government of Serbia on the CEFTA meeting held in Pristina last night. The statement reads:
A protest was held in Gracanica today over the decision of the Kosovo government to increase taxes on goods coming from Serbia and BiH to 100 percent, reports KIM radio.
The head of the Clinical Hospital Center in Gracanica told the gathered people that the loss of even one human life is not worth any political victory, reports KIM radio.
The Orthodox church of St Nicholas in a village Grncare, in the municipality of Vitina, has been robbed and vandalized, announced the Serbian List on Monday.
The List said that the interior of the church had been desecrated and called for the perpetrators to be found quickly “in order to send a clear message that this type of behaviour and endangering of the peace is unacceptable,” reported Serbian media.
The Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) and the Association of Journalists of Kosovo and Metohija (DNKiM) again urge Pristina to stop restricting the rights of the Serbian people in Kosovo to the information on their mother tongue and to urgently ensure unhindered distribution of the print media. These associations point out that, unlike other products, print media on the market are irreplaceable goods, especially given the fact that no daily or weekly newspaper in the Serbian language is printed in Kosovo, reports Serbian media in Kosovo.
"By announcing the formation of the army for December 14th, Pristina continues with provocations that endanger peace," say in the Serbian List, reports KIM radio.
This way the Kosovo authorities violate all international acts in force, consider their coalition partners from the Serbian List, reports KIM radio.
A protest was held in Gracanica regarding the decision of the Kosovo government to increase taxes on goods coming from Serbia and BiH to 100 percent, reports KIM radio.

A peaceful one-hour protest will be held in Serbian communities in Kosovo, Mitrovica North, Gracanica and Strpce today at noon due to the introduction of a tax on Serbian goods, Minister for Communities and Returns in the Kosovo Government, Dalibor Jevtic, told Tanjug last night.
