Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric commented the public posts of the Abbot of Visoki Decani Sava Janjic on social media and said that he does not expect today “a repentance and apology to our people in KiM from those who in someone else’s interest publicly accused their own state of planning an agreed crime against its people, and those who in a planned manner created fear and spread lies at a time that is politically and security-wise sensitive for our side,” Radio Kosovska Mitrovica reported.

Many Serbs facing property and legal issues in Kosovo have decided to speak about that publicly since they cannot achieve justice in a legal manner, due to injustice imposed against them by the Kosovo society, Serbian media reported.

Also, smaller number of Croats, Roma and Gorani are also facing issues of usurped properties but do not dare to talk about that publicly fearing for their own security.

Serbian Orthodox Church Raska-Prizren Eparchy Bishop Teodosije has served yesterday evening “Moleban for Kosovo and Metohija” (prayer of supplication) in the church of St. Dimitrije in Mitrovica North, Radio kontakt plus reported.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told a press conference in Belgrade on Tuesday that there is no easy and painless solution to the Kosovo problem.

He stressed that "one of the key issues is to solve the issue of KiM (Kosovo and Metohija), for the sake of the future of Serbia."

Vucic said that since signing the Brussels agreement, Serbia had done its best to be a reliable partner not only to the Albanians, but also to the international community.

Pristina's maximalist goals, which, along with recognition, wants Presevo and Bujanovac, are the main obstacles to resolving the Kosovo problem.

This has been stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Ivica Dacic.

The Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) has decided that all municipal councils of the DSS should break local coalitions with the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), reports Serbian media.

DSS President Milos Jovanovic told reporters that the coalition with the Progressives was broken up in 14 municipalities.

September could be a key month in resolving the Kosovo issue, writes the daily Blic.

The newspaper writes that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will travel to China after visiting to Kosovo, and will then go to New York, where he will speak at the United Nations.
As the solution enters the final stage, Serbia's president is in for a fierce diplomatic offensive throughout September, the daily said.

After the evening liturgy, Raska-Prizren Eparchy Bishop Teodosije would serve today in Saint Demetrious Church in Mitrovica North “Prayer for Kosovo and Metohija,” Radio kontakt plus reported. The same prayer would be held until Friday in other temples and churches across Kosovo.

Bishop Tedosije called upon priesthood, monks and believers that in the difficult days ahead us, by prayers and fasting all together give a contribution to preserve a living church in Raska-Prizren Eparchy.

There is still a “clash” in the Security Council regarding London’s decision to remove Kosovo from the agenda in August, while Russia and China refuse to move discussion on Kosovo behind the closed doors, Belgrade-based daily Vecerenje Novosti reported.

Therefore, discussion on the situation in Kosovo three times a year, open to public, according to Novosti, could be a compromise solution among the great powers in the Security Council.

The situation is currently such that we have a good opportunity to solve the issue of Kosovo and Metohija with a compromise, Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said.

Dacic also pointed out that he "does not know whether and when there will be a better opportunity."

The position of Russia has changed by it becoming a great power, and one that now much closer to Serbia than it did 20 years ago - while the United States and its foreign policy have also changed, according to the minister.
