Serbian List deputy Igor Simic said that the idea of delimitation with Albanians in basics intends to prevent any future ethnic cleansing, adding that everyone is clear who is concerned sincerely about the future of Serbs in Kosovo, Serbian media reported.
Simic this way responded to Abbott Sava Janjic's FB post, who estimated that the delimitation would lead to ethnic cleansing, as a legitimate solution.
Abbot Sava Janjic wrote on his Facebook account that by accepting the agreement on the delimitation of Serbs and Albanians, Europe would accept the idea of ethnic cleansing as a legitimate solution.
"Acceptance of ethnic partition between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo by territorial division and forcing 70.000 Serbs south of the partition line to an imminent exodus and leaving their holy sites in peril would mean that EU accepts the idea of an agreed ethnic cleansing as a legitimate solution.
Moscow is ready to back Republic of Srpska (RS) in raising the issue of its independence, especially in the context of the talks on a final solution for Kosovo. Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes this on Tuesday.
According to the newspaper, this message should be handed over to the president of the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Milorad Dodik by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who will visit Sarajevo and Banja Luka on September 16-17.
Serbia and Kosovo are talking about redrawing their borders. Major European capitals are opposed and the US used to be too — but things have changed under Trump.
If Kosovo would get a seat in the UN, even status of an observer, their need to talk to us about anything would immediately cease, leader of Leftist Serbia and former Belgrade chief negotiator in the Brussels talks, Borko Stefanovic told FoNet news agency.
From that moment onwards, Kosovo could do whatever it wants, since it would become de facto and de jure independent state, Stefanovic added. He also assessed it would be a great humiliation for Serbia, as it would need to ask Russia and China not to block Kosovo membership in the UN.
Director of the Information Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova told RTS this morning that Russia's attitude towards Kosovo is consistent and strict. This attitude is built on three components - the international legal basis of what is happening in Kosovo, respect for the sovereignty of Serbia, independence and internal Serbian legislation, and understanding the interests of the people and Serbia as a state, Zakharova stressed.
Abbot Sava Janjic today spoke about assassinated leader of Civic Initiative Freedom, Democracy, Justice, (GI SDP) Oliver Ivanovic, B92 reports.
“A man who did not measure Kosovo and Metohija by meters and percentages, who fought for the people, and not for his personal interest, who was heinously killed from a back, speaks today louder than ever before, distorting those who have hunted him, a man who did not spread defeatism, but hope – Oliver Ivanovic,” Abbot of Visoki Decani Sava Janjic wrote on Facebook.
President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, in an interview to Belgrade-based daily Blic spoke, inter alia, about the issue of Kosovo.
Q: The issue of Kosovo and its solution are in the focus again. How do you look at what is happening now?
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says all those who are now saying that there can be no change of borders should be ashamed of themselves.
Dacic said he had in mind "those who knocked down our border and opened Pandora's box" - referring to the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, a province of Serbia.
The dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina continues in less than a month in Brussels, Belgrade-based daily Blic writes.
According to the newspaper, which cited top government circles, India's Vice President Venkaiah Naidu is coming to Belgrade. After that, Blic said, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic should meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
"This meeting has already been agreed, it only remains unknown whether the two presidents will meet in Moscow or in Vladivostok," the daily's source said.
