A Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs state secretary says he expects the new U.S. administration to have "a different stance" on Kosovo's admission to UNESCO.

"I believe that with the new (U.S.) administration the situation will be different, that there will no longer be such aggressive pressure, as was probably on the agenda of the previous administration," Veljko Odalovic told the Serbian state broadcaster RTS.

Milovan Drecun confirmed on Friday that representatives of Pristina this week attempted to introduce changes to the agreement on telecommunications.

The agreement was reached in Brussels last Sunday, during the EU-sponsored Kosovo dialogue.

However, said Drecun (SNS) - who heads the Serbian National Assembly's Committee on Kosovo and Metohija - "Brussels made it clear and reacted very firmly toward Pristina, saying that what has been agreed cannot be changed. "

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has rejected claims of the Kosovo Ambassador to the U.S. Vlora Citaku about Belgrade's "colonial tendencies toward Pristina."

Speaking at the end of the UN Security Council session on Kosovo, Dacic said that "we are not colonizers and will not allow to be spoken about in that way in the UN Security Council."

The delegations of Belgrade and Pristina are discussing in Brussels the details of implementing the telecommunications agreement.

European Commission spokesperson Maja Kocijancic said this on Thursday.

Ukraine's Ambassador Oleksandr Aleksandrovych has told the Belgrade-based daily Blic that his country's position not to recognize Kosovo remains unchanged.

However, he voiced his suspicion that Russia - which also does not recognize the unilateral declaration of this Serbian province's independence - might "renounce Kosovo" in case the West "recognizes Crimea."

EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn has welcomed the agreement on elecommunications reached in the Kosovo talks in Brussels.

Hahn, who is is charge of EU's Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, referred to "dialogue (between) Kosovo and Serbia" in two messages posted on Twitter, that combined read as follows:

First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic received on Thursday in Belgrade Guatemala's Foreign Minister Carlos Raul Morales Moscoso.

During the talks it was noted that, despite the existence of bilateral and friendly relations, the cooperation in economic, cultural and educational areas lag behind the real possibilities of the two countries, the Serbian government said.

The Serbian government supports the work of the special court for the war crimes committed by the KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army").

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said this on Thursday during a meeting in Belgrade with the court's chief prosecutor, David Schwendiman.

Belgrade will make maximum efforts in its dialogue Pristina - "but we will not give Serbia away - not for anything," SPS leader Ivica Dacic has said.

Dacic, who serves as the first deputy prime minister and foreign minister, spoke at a party event on Sunday, noting that there was "absolute agreement" with PM Aleksandar Vucic when it comes to this policy.

Ivica Dacic on Friday denied the claims that Serbia failed to open any new EU accession negotiations chapters in October because of Russia.

The foreign minister added that new chapters will be opened "when there has been is progress in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue."
