"Serbia will wait three and a half months, as it has been said, for the statute of the ZSO (to be drafted) - but this will not happen," Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said.

The President Vucic told the RTS on Wednesday that he will talk with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Federica Mogherini on Thursday, and that he expects "words of encouragement" from her.

He added that the main topic of their conversation will be the relationship between Belgrade and Pristina.

Outgoing Kosovo Deputy Interior Minister, Milan Radojevic met yesterday with Assistant UN Secretary General, Alexander Zuev from the Russian Federation, Serbian media reported.

Radojevic informed Zuev about security challenges in Kosovo in particular those affecting the Serb community, starting from usurped properties, attacks against returnees to problems in obtaining Kosovo documents and physical security.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has described statements saying that the ZSO would be formed in accordance with Kosovo's laws as "ridiculous."

That was something heard from an EU spokesperson earlier in the week.

Head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) parliamentary group, Avdullah Hoti, said that the confusion regarding the dialogue for normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is only deepening further. He said that in the absence of a new Kosovo Assembly resolution on who should lead the process, the applicable rules remain those outlined in the most recent resolution from 2011 and 2012. According to these, government of Kosovo is authorized to be in charge of the dialogue.

Aleksandar Vucic has said that the ZSO can only be formed in accordance with the Brussels agreement, its principles and the implementation plan.

Reacting to EU's stance on the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo - after an EU spokesperson told Tanjug on Tuesday that this would be done "in accordance with Kosovo laws and objections of the Kosovo Constitutional Court - the president said, "let them show us where this is written."

Vucic also said he was "surprised by this statement."

Marko Djuric said on Thursday that Serbs will not give up on the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO).

The head of the Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo and Metohija also advised authorities in Pristina who are making threats of arrest, "to arrest themselves first."

Djuric said that Serbia expects representatives of authorities in Pristina to start enabling Serbs to work on the formation of the ZSO, "instead of making threats of war and a campaign of terror, that will bring nothing to anyone."

According to political analyst Dusan Janjic, arrest of Marko Djuric was security-political trigger that sped up existing preparations for negotiations in a new format, Tanjug news agency reported.

He expects this new format would include two observers, one from the USA and the other from Germany. He also added that new format in fact means more intensive talks, prepared by political negotiators, and to be “completed by presidents in several meetings.”

According to the statements of Serb political representatives, who earlier announced withdrawal from the Kosovo government, 10 Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo should form independently the ZSO, in accordance with the principles outlined in the Brussels agreement, Serbian media reported.

Former Serbian President and leader of Social-Democratic Party (SDS) Boris Tadic said last night that announced establishment of the Association of the Serb Municipalities by Serb representatives from Kosovo represents “an insult to a common sense.”

He explained that by signing the Brussels agreement “a legal system of independent Kosovo was accepted in the entire territory” therefore such community “is not possible outside of that legal system,” Serbian media reported.

Change of Kosovo status is a "fait accompli" to the West, there is no room for division either. As a hope it remains that Serbs in Kosovo get what has been agreed in Brussels five years ago, the Association of the Serb Municipalities, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told RTS after meeting the Western countries’ officials.
