Belgrade-Pristina dialogue on normalization of relations must continue, despite the shock caused by the murder of the leader of Civic Initiative, Freedom, Democracy, Justice, Oliver Ivanovic, USA Ambassador to Serbia, Kyle Scot told TV N1.

Deputy leader of Civic Initiative, Freedom, Democracy, Justice, Ksenija Bozovic told Vreme weekly, that she appeals to individuals, both in Kosovo and Belgrade, to refrain from comments on Oliver Ivanovic, as they know very well what Oliver Ivanovic thought of them and to stop using his murder and tragedy for political marketing.

Kosovo bodies have sent two requests to the Serbian Organized Crime Prosecution asking for specific information within the investigation of Oliver Ivanovic’s murder, Serbian Justice Minister, Nela Kuburovic told RTS, adding the Ministry would respond to these requests.

Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo and Minister of Communities and Return Dalibor Jevtic points out that the visit of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo after the murder of Oliver Ivanovic was timely, as well as that it calmed tensions and brought peace.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic attended on Monday in Belgrade a lunch with ambassadors of EU member-states.

The lunch, where Dacic was "the main speaker," was hosted by Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Sem Fabrizi, the government announced.

A tragic death could spark a lasting peace in the Balkans’ most restive region.

In March 2003, a sniper enlisted by a powerful criminal gang shot dead Serbia’s young reformist prime minister, Zoran Djindjic. In an instant, the promise of a clean break — for Serbia and for the region — from the Slobodan Milosevic era was dashed. Djindjic’s successors returned Serbia to the self-pitying past, most notably on the emotive issue of Kosovo.

The Department of Serious Crimes of the Basic Prosecutor's Office in Mitrovica expressed readiness to provide information to the Belgrade Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime regarding the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, reports Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

Serbian leader from Kosovo and professor of the Medical Faculty in northern Mitrovica, Dr. Rada Trajkovic, told FoNet news agency that she "highly respects" the statement of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic about the extent of support she has in Kosovo among Serbs, noting that such statements were given and about the support Oliver Ivanovic had, reports Belgrade based daily Danas.
