This is according to Gennady Sisoyev, a correspondent for Russian daily Kommersant, who spoke for Beta agency.
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says that Belgrade will not allow changes to be made to the ZSO agreement that Pristina intends to propose.
Dacic emphasized in a statement for Radio Belgrade over the weekend that any amending of the agreement on the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo and Metohija was out of the question.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says that Moscow is not opposed to Serbia and the region moving closer to the EU.
But the choice Brussels is putting before them - "either Russia or the West" - is a very wrong policy, Lavrov told Beta agency in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview on the eve of his visit to Serbia this week.
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic announced on Saturday that Burundi had revoked its recognition of Kosovo.
Dacic was in this African country on Thursday.
"These days the tenth anniversary is marked in Pristina of the unilateral proclamation of Kosovo's independence. I wish to make my contribution. I brought with me a note from Burundi's Foreign Ministry, revoking the recognition of Kosovo," Dacic told an unscheduled news conference in Belgrade.
The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a protest note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados.
The note states that Belgrade received the news of the decision of Barbados to recognize Kosovo "with astonishment."
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says it is "absolutely counterproductive that some foreign ministers are sending arrogant messages to Belgrade."
Dacic, who is taking part in an informal meeting of EU and candidate countries' foreign ministers in Sofia, Bulgaria, noted on Friday that when it comes to bilateral disputes, EU's stance is "not to import instability, and to find solutions before accession."
The Serbian official, however, observed that this is a rule has not been respected so far.
Rada Trajkovic says Oliver Ivanovic reported people that posed danger to him to the Security Information Agency (BIA).

One month after the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, the Basic Court in Kosovska Mitrovica has formally ended the case where he stood accused of war crimes.

A political storm in Vienna caused by the Austrian vice-chancellor's statement that Kosovo is a part of Serbia is not dying down, Tanjug is reporting.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's session of his cabinet, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Austria was "a friend that supports the Western Balkans and is trying to contribute to the normalization of Belgrade-Pristina relations."
Kosovo is without a doubt a part of Serbia, says Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache.
In an interview for Belgrade-based daily Politika ahead of his visit to Serbia, Strache said it would be desirable if northern Kosovo had the right to "self-determination or autonomy" - and that it would be wrong to pressure Belgrade to recognize Kosovo.
"I think that recognition of Kosovo a matter for Serbia alone. To pressure on the country because of that would be wrong," he said.
