Kosovo’s authorities expect to join Interpol during the forthcoming organisation's yearly General Assembly meeting and rejected statements from Belgrade that if that happened, thousands of Serbs would be on international warrants, Radio Free Europe (RFE) reported on Wednesday.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli's chief-of-staff Jetlir Zyberaj told the RSF that “we won't look for vengeance since we are not of that mentality, but we will process all criminals.”

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has said that Kosovo authorities are jeopardizing both the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and regional stability by failing to meet the obligations it accepted, FoNet news agency reports. Speaking at a ceremony for graduates of the Ministry’s Diplomatic Academy, Dacic said that Serbia has proved itself to be a responsible, reliable and predictable partner with no hidden agenda, adding that it has met all the obligations it accepted during the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue. According to Dacic, Pristina’s failure to implement its obligations is cause for concern f

Montenegro, which has joined KFOR, should know that this mission was established on the basis of UN Resolution 1244. And this resolution does not mention "the state of Kosovo," Serbian Defense Minister Vulin said. He thus responded to his Montenegrin counterpart Predrag Boskovic, who said that Kosovo was "a sovereign state." "Members of the KFOR mission must be status neutral and therefore statements made by the Montenegrin minister of defense about supporting the state of Kosovo are not in accordance with the KFOR mission.

Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes on Wednesday that the UK, USA, France and Sweden are trying to keep any story about Kosovo, including Pristina's steps towards the formation of an 'army', away from the UN Security Council.

According to the daily, these four countries try to prevent including of the discussion on Kosovo' situation into agenda of the next session of the Council, scheduled for 8th November.

A technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina is under way, with the ultimate goal of scheduling a top-level agreement next.

Although Pristina is investing great efforts to be accepted into Interpol, the plan suffers from the behavior of the son of the Kosovo secret service's chief. Namely, Sputnik is citing Pristina-based (Albanian language) daily Gazeta Express, which said that the person in question, Shpend Maxhuni, was found in possession of illegal weapons and drugs in a car, "about ten days ago." According to the Pristina daily, this has been stated by an unnamed representative of the authorities who is involved in the proceeding, while a member of the Assembly from the most influential opposition party, the

Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs state secretaries, Dijana Hrkalovic and Biljana Popovic-Ivic, in separate meetings, presented Serbian arguments against membership of the so-called Kosovo in Interpol, to the diplomatic representatives of several countries, RTS reports. Hrkalovic met with Cuban Ambassador in Serbia, Gustavo Trista del Todo and Argentinian Charge de Affairs, Juan B. Scartascini del Rio. She underlined that eventual decision to admit so-called Kosovo in Interpol, would constitute flagrant violation of the international law, primarily UN SC Resolution 1244.

Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs, Nebojsa Stefanovic says every story about the so-called Kosovo request to join Interpol represents politicization of this professional police organization. Pristina's possible admission would constitute a gross violation of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 1244, Stefanovic told the tabloid Kurir. Also, he said, it would represent a precedent that is contrary to the rules of Interpol, which strictly and unequivocally envisages that only UN member states and UN observers can be members of the organization. The possible decision of the

“Here in Kosovo, nearly twenty years have passed since the Security Council called for the provision of conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants. However, the narratives of the conflict that caused the lack of trust, continue to incite mutual doubts and tensions among ethnic groups. “Economic, social, cultural and political life remains largely based on identities, and the separation line has caused many people to remain uninvolved in shaping of a common future,” UNMIK Head Zahir Tanin said in Pristina, at the reception UN Kosovo Trust Building Forum, KoSSev portal r

Former Serbian Ambassador in UNESCO, Darko Tanaskovic told Radio Beograd that the issue of Kosovo and Metohija admission in UNESCO is not resolved. He expects a new request for membership would be submitted next year, adding it is a strategic aim of Pristina authorities and their international mentors. “That would include repetition, under slightly changed circumstances, of everything we went through in Paris in 2015 and 2017, when our cultural heritage was in the center of attention, but not only that.
