A new round of the Brussels negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina will be held on 16 and 17 November, Danas unofficially learns from diplomatic sources.

The interlocutors of the daily Danas say that the main topics of discussion will be freedom of movement and the implementation of previously reached agreement on "permanent facilities, in connection to the integrated management of crossings."

The Court of Appeal refused the request of the Oliver Ivanovic's lawyer to exclude from criminal proceedings Albanian judge Driton Muharemi, says the lawyer Nebojsa Vlajić and adds the trial continues tomorrow and day after tomorrow in Pristina.

Oliver Ivanović assesses that Kosovo will have early elections by the end of the year. Explaining this position, the most famous prisoner of Kosovo, whose Citizens' Initiative SDP is part of the Serbian List in the Kosovo parliament, says that the withdrawal of the proposal of ratification of the agreement on the demarcation with Montenegro from the agenda, for the current government of Isa Mustafa is "the last nail into their own coffin."

The Citizens' Initiative SDP - Oliver Ivanović expects to prove the innocence of Oliver Ivanović at the scheduled hearings of the Appellate Court.

The SDP statement recalls the belief that political process is conducted against Ivanović, and expresses the hope that "reason and the evidence will prevail in favour of his absolute innocence in the case for which the First Instance sentenced to nine years in prison".

The latest attack of Bajram Gecaj, adviser of Kosovo PM Isa Mustafa, regarding Oliver Ivanović presents the most explicit confirmation of the political nature of the proceeding against the leader of the Civic Initiative SDP, was reported by the Serbian List.

The Appellate Court in Pristina still did not respond to the appeal of lawyers, submitted on the first instance verdict, and according to which Oliver Ivanović, leader of the Civic Initiative Sloboda Demokratija Pravda (CI SDP), was sentenced to nine years in prison. As stated by Ivanović’s sister Nataša Ilić, an answer can be expected at the earliest in autumn, adding that everybody expects acquittal. She added that the legal team from Mitrovica which is representing Ivanović has the legal help of recognized lawyers from Belgrade and abroad.

All my life I've spent doing the opposite of what I'm charged. Therefore, I hope the Court of Appeal will, when considering my case, come to that conclusion. I believe that the verdict will be overturned into acquittal, because that will be the only just solution.

These are the words of the leader of Civic Initiative SDP Oliver Ivanović, from the interview for "Novosti", who after nearly two years of litigation, was sentenced to nine years in prison. Practically without proof.

"CI SDP is no longer a political party as it was, at the time when Mr Oliver Ivanović led it. We, municipal councillors, are not the only people who left the party. Huge numbers of people who had been on the list for councillors and other prominent members also abandoned the party, but the public still does not know it,” said Igor Simić, former member of the CI SDP.  When asked who is to blame, Simić says that he cannot talk individually, because those are "some internal things."

Serbs in Kosovo must start establishing the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), according to Civic Initiative SDP leader Oliver Ivanovic.

Ethnic Albanians' opposition to the formation of this community, agreed on during the EU-sponspored Belgrade-Pristina talks, "will subside only when they realize that it will be formed with or without them," Ivanovic said in a letter he wrote in prison.

Former Secretary-General of NATO and chief of European Union diplomacy Javier Solana is one of the persons who supported the leader of SDP Oliver Ivanovic in the case led by EULEX court in Mitrovica, according to which he was sentenced to nine years in prison. Thanks to him, as well as other officials such as General William Nash and former UNMIK Administrator for Mitrovica James Fitt, foreign legal experts will be included in writing Ivanovic's appeal against the judgment.
