Representatives of Kosovo Serbs deny that an agreement was reached to support the demarcation of the border with Montenegro.

Serbian list did not talk with the representatives of the ruling Albanian political parties about support for the agreement on the demarcation of the border with Montenegro, and which would lead, in return, to the formation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (ZSO), confirmed President of the Serbian List Slavko Simić to Večernje Novosti.

The news website reports that it received an email from the group called “Rugovasit” [Rugova residents] claiming responsibility for Monday’s attack on the premises of the public broadcaster – the Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK). The email reads: “we attacked the RTK last night with a hand grenade. Below are the reasons for the attack: the RTK did not publish our communique that we attacked Murat Meha’s several days ago. The RTK, on a daily basis, is broadcasting news only in favor of the demarcation and the government.

Several media report that Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi has called on members of Kosovo’s Assembly to ratify the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro. President Thaçi posted on his Facebook account: “the closer we get to the day when the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo will ratify the border delineation between Kosovo and Montenegro, the more Kosovo is proving its commitment to a Euro-Atlantic future.

In an interview for Tirana-based Shekulli newspaper, Vetëvendosje leader Visar Ymeri said the opposition and his party are determined to reject the border-demarcation deal with Montenegro, “because Kosovo will lose over 8,200 hectares”. Ymeri said the Vetëvendosje Movement would use all its human and logistical capacity to prevent the current version of the border deal. “The government decided to send the draft law to the Assembly regardless of a recent open debate that showed that the agreement is unfair.

Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, reported at the Kosovo government meeting today on the visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. Mustafa said Kosovo will continue to have the support of the U.S. but that it needs to fulfil its obligations. “We received clear messages that Kosovo is an ally of the U.S., but that this also depends on Kosovo meeting its obligations,” Mustafa said. He also said that the U.S. wants Kosovo to establish the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities.

Vetëvendosje leader Visar Ymeri told a press conference in Pristina today that a popular protest will be held on September 1 in Pristina to reject the border-demarcation agreement with Montenegro. “The Kosovo Government is working against the interests of the people and the state. If this agreement is implemented, Kosovo will lose its precious peaks, springs and other wealth. Those that have seized the state are trying to push forward this agreement.

The ruling coalition will have to secure by September 1 the necessary votes in parliament to ratify the border-demarcation deal with Montenegro. Opposition parties meanwhile have not changed their position on the matter. Political analysts in Pristina argue that the remaining period must be used to try and reach consensus.

Vetëvendosje movement’s Secretary for media and communication, Frashër Krasniqi, spoke for Klan Kosova about the statements of the U.S. Vice-President, Joe Biden, made at the press conference after his meeting with the President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi. “We followed the press conference, it is interesting that Thaçi insisted more on demarcation and Association,” Krasniqi said.

Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaçi told reporters in Pristina today that it is a great honour for Kosovo to welcome the U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. “20 years ago when we were faced with annihilation by Serbia, then-U.S. Senator Joe Biden, became our voice. An independent and sovereign country, Kosovo has now strengthened peace, stability and cooperation in the region. We have made important steps in the normalisation of relations with Serbia.

The agreement is final, by which the border between Montenegro and Kosovo was established, says Chief of the Management Board for the borders of Montenegro, Milan Paunović.

He told Television of Montenegro that the demarcation between Montenegro and Kosovo has ended, as well as that Kosovo's parliament would ratify the agreement in August.
