Veljko Odalovic, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told the RTS News, that the arrival of Johannes Hahn is very important as well as talks both in Belgrade and Pristina. He says that the talk with the representatives of Pristina is important because, as he says, ''they forgot that there are Serbs in those institutions as well. "

In several Serb communities in Kosovo, one-hour protests against "police and political terror in Pristina" were held. Serbian List Vice President Igor Simic said that the Serbs sent a message that they wanted to live peacefully and dignifiedly.

Protests were held in Rudare, at the cross in the municipality of Zvecan, at the Jarinje crossing in the municipality of Leposavic, at the Brnjak crossing and in the place Zupce in the municipality of Zubin Potok.

Serbian List Deputy Chair, Dalibor Jevtic called for peace and restraint.

Speaking for RTS morning program Jevtic said the aim of the Serbs is not conflict but a stable situation.

Jevtic stressed that those who gave the order and killers of Oliver Ivanovic should be found, but it is “an interesting moment” that ROSU units have chosen to carry out the action.

Jevtic reminded that taxes on goods from central Serbia are increased by 100 percent, and that Serbs announced peaceful protest over that measure.

In a live broadcast, Radio Television Serbia reports on the announcements of blockades in the town of Rudare in the municipality of Zvecan, closure of the administrative crossing of Jarinje in the municipality of Leposavic, and that the leadership of the municipality of Zubin Potok made a decision on closing all shops from 12 to 13 hours, and to block the Brnjak crossing, as well as the main road in the village of Zupce.

Intrusion and arrests that Kosovo police ROSU members carried out this morning in Mitrovca North is a dangerous move, that deteriorates the situation, Chairperson of the Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun told RTS.

He added, this could be an indicator of new possible violent actions of Pristina in the north of Kosovo. “This is a dangerous, unilateral act by Pristina, that deteriorates the situation and raises tensions,” Drecun said.

Kosovo special police units, ROSU, early this morning entered Mitrovica North and arrested three persons, B92 reports. The media also added shootings were heard, and the sirens were on.
Dragisa Markovic (Kosovo police member), Sasa Curcic and Milos Rosic are arrested, according to the Serbian media. Following the police action, citizens gathered at Mitrovica North main square.

The decision of the European Energy Agency on the Elektromreza Srbije (Electric network of Serbia) to remain a part of the energy system in Kosovo has brought great relief to the Serbs in Kosovo, says Deputy of the Serbian List Igor Simic.

Simic told in the RTS News that energy independence and security of citizens and economy in four municipalities in the north of Kosovo is of huge importance.
