Future of Belgrade-Pristina dialogue is very much uncertain because it is not known what the further development of the situation in Kosovo and Metohija would look like, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic assessed, B92 reports.

He added that at the end of August new visits by international officials to Serbia might be expected, new initiatives and new assessments of the situation in Kosovo. He repeated the US does not want to exert pressure on Serbia, because, as he said, the US knows the problem is not in Belgrade but rather in Pristina.

So far, 13 states had decided to revoke recognition of Kosovo independence claims Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, RFE reports.

Those are the following countries: São Tomé and Príncipe, Surinam, Guinea-Bissau, Burundi, Liberia, Papua New Guinea, Lesotho, Commonwealth Dominica, Grenada, Union of Comoros, the Solomon Islands, Madagascar and Palau for which the Ministry submitted to the Radio Free Europe (RFE) copies of diplomatic notes in which they inform the Ministry on their decision.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic commented today on the news that Ramush Haradinaj was interviewed in the Special Court for KLA crimes in The Hague saying that no one has brought the justice to the Serbs and he expects it won’t happen in the future either, RTS reports.  

He underlined that double standards are at play and no one can answer the question – where are the rights and the justice? He also said Serbian tear has no parents nor would it have, and that Serbia must fight for the better future, but in a manner not to jeopardize it.

Twenty years after the NATO bombing of Serbia and conflict in Kosovo, destiny of several hundreds of missing Serbs still remains unknown, TV N1 said.

According to the Council of Europe Special Rapporteur Dick Marty’s report many of them have been kidnapped and taken to the camps in the north of Albania, and later became victims of organ harvesting.

Ramush Haradinaj would face The Hague Court for the third time and it remains unknown if an indictment against him would be raised RTS reports today. Journalist Ljiljana Smajlovic said the witnesses are still the main problem when it comes to Haradinaj.

“Witnesses are the main problem with Haradinaj, they were afraid earlier to talk about KLA existence and let alone the crimes,” Smajlovic told RTS morning news edition.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, commenting on Ramush Haradinaj’s departure to The Hague yesterday, said he expects nothing but a farce and performance that “KLA protected the people from ‘Serbian aggressor’ and they were very successful”, RTS reports.

Asked if a date for Haradinaj’s departure to The Hague, which coincides with the 20^th anniversary of the unpunished crime against the Serbs in Staro Gracko was intentionally chosen, Vucic responded he thinks Haradinaj is not only connected to that crime but with many other crimes as well.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said that Kosovo Prime Minister in resignation Ramush Haradinaj is not withdrawing, given his recent move. "He made this move in order to eliminate Hashim Thaci and the others on the political scene, and to return as a victim of the Court for the so-called KLA", Dacic told Prva TV.

"This is a tactical move, we will see whether he will be indicted or convicted", Dacic added.

Europe obviously did not manage to ensure implementation of the Brussels agreement, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said on Monday, B92 reports.

Dacic added he has signed this agreement and Belgrade still sticks to it; however, Pristina does not think at all to implement it.

Director of the Center for Regionalism, Aleksandar Popov told TV N1 resignation of Ramush Haradinaj could unblock the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, if there are no new elections. But in case he returns from The Hague without indictment, it could reinforce his and the position of his political party. Still, Popov did not exclude the possibility of ‘a political engineering.’

Asked if he considers the Special Court for KLA crimes would manage to safeguard 20 witnesses in the case against Ramush Haradinaj, given it isn’t known what happened with 30 others, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said he does not know if there is this number of alive witnesses, RTS reported.

“I do not know if there is this number of alive witnesses, I do not know what this case is based upon, but in any case, they should pay attention knowing who they have to deal with,” Dacic said.
