UNMIK today most sharply condemned the violence in the Kosovo Assembly and extreme means used by opposition in order to prevent the work of the parliament and called opposition parties to act responsibly.

“Such actions have no place in a democratic society. They work directly against the interests of Kosovo and the interests of all those who have democratically elected their representatives to the Assembly,” reads the statement of the UN mission in Kosovo.

The chairperson of the Serbian Parliament's Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, said that powerful states have promised to authorities in Pristina the membership in UNESCO, as a compensation due to the creation of a special court for war crimes and Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM).

Considering that 32 member states of the UNESCO's Executive Council have recognized Kosovo, and that 20 of them have supported Albania’s proposal in writing, it is almost certain that this topic will be on the daily agenda, and that it will be discussed and decision made before the conclusion of the body’s 197th session, around 20 October, said Serbian Ambassador to UNESCO Darko Tanaskovic.

Serbian Prime Minister said that the EU draft negotiation platform for Chapter 35 is completely unacceptable for our state. “I hope that this awful paper won’t even be discussed”, said Vucic.

According to the paper’s sources text of the draft negotiation platform for Chapter 35, which was handed over on Wednesday in Brussels to the head of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, has 49 counts, from which most are not status neutral, instead they directly stipulate recognition of Kosovo’s independence.

Deputy Kosovo Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovicn said that yesterday’s acts of opposition MPs in the parliament were great shame and call on hatred.

Strengthening of nationalism in multi-ethnic Kosovo should not happen, said Serb MP in the Kosovo parliament from the ranks of the Serbian List and chairperson of the Progressive Democratic Party, Nenad Rasic, and added that this was the reason for the boycott of the work of parliament of some Serb MPs.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic stated on Thursday that Pristina is trying to incorporate provisions on the status on Kosovo in the negotiating platform for Chapter 35 sidestepping the dialogue in Brussels.

This has to do with a draft document which is imposing Pristina's stance on the status of Kosovo, Vucic said, stressing that adopting such a platform would be worse for Serbia than a formal recognition of Kosovo's independence.

Aleksandar Vucic has stated that he expects that Chapters 32 and 35 will be opened in Serbia's EU accession negotiations by the year's end.
