Serbian national broadcaster RTS quotes today Pristina based daily Zeri that a new government in Pristina cannot be formed without the Serbian List. According to Zeri, since the Serbian List has won the most votes in the snap parliamentary elections, Albin Kurti will have to include that party in his cabinet.

Albin Kurti earlier said that Serbian List representatives would not be part of his government, and in the meantime, he had already talked with Nenad Rasic of the PDS party.

I am aware of the pressures Serbs are experiencing from Serbia's parallel structures in Kosovo, one of which is the Serbian List, but the Serb community in Kosovo should gain strength and rebuild behind the more moderate Serb parties and politicians in Kosovo, Self-determination leader Albin Kurti said in an interview with Belgrade based weekly NIN.

According to former Kosovo Constitutional Court President Enver Hasani only representatives of the Serbian List can represent the Serb community in Kosovo, in parliament and government.

Dalibor Jevtic says that the Serb people in Kosovo in the Sunday parliamentary elections made it very clear that they remain firm and unique with their country Serbia.

Kosovo’s Constitutional Court former President, Enver Hasani, told N1 the creation of Pristina’s army depended on the support of local Serbs and the necessary constitutional changes, adding without them an army could not be formed.

In an interview with N1, Hasani added that by adopting the laws Kosovo would not create an army but would start a 10-year-long process of transformation of the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) into the military.

Daily newspaper Blic writes that the Kosovo government has officially announced that the process of forming the Community/Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO), even the EU that the drafting of the Statute has begun, and representatives of the Serbs claim that none of this has been done.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said that Kosovo is a province of Serbia and that the Serbian government acted in accordance with it and approved the swearing-in of the Serbian judges and prosecutors before President Hashim Thaci, and that it implemented the Brussels agreement, Belgrade daily Danas writes.

Political analyst Halil Matoshi argues in an opinion piece that Hashim Thaci, leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), cannot pretend to be a unifying figure if he gets elected President of Kosovo in an Assembly building surrounded by police and without the presence of opposition MPs”. According to Matoshi, Thaci’s election under such circumstances would bring about further division in Kosovo’s society; it would outrage the opposition, would not help the country emerge from the current crisis and would result in further clashes.
