Creation of the association/community of Albanian municipalities (A/CAM) in south Serbia has been announced for Saturday as a response on the creation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities in Kosovo.
The chairperson of the Serbian Parliament’s Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun said to RTS that creation of association of Albanian municipalities is an extreme and unacceptable thing. In no way can any parallel be made with the Association/Community of Serb municipalities. The main goal is influence on the Brussels Agreement, claims Drecun.
“Foreign and internal policy of the state is led by the Serbian Government, which has support of the Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić,” was a short reply of the coordinator for cooperation with media in the president’s cabinet Vuk Fatić to a question asked by daily Danas about Nikolić’s stand on agreements with Pristina signed in Brussels by the end of August.
Pristina said that it will lobby for the entry to the OSCE with the help of US and Albania, but it was in vain because the consensus of 57 member states is required for the entry into the organization.
Although on paper membership in the United Nations is not a precondition for admission, it is an unwritten rule, because all current members of the OSCE have a seat in the UN.
Agreements signed in Brussels are obligatory for all not only for the Serbian side but for Pristina too, and they will have to be implemented no matter that some business interests are not matching with agreements, said Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović while reflecting on the implementation of the agreement on the vehicle insurance.
Adriatik Kelmendi considers that the idea for the creation of the Association of the municipalities with Albanian majority in the territory that to majority of Albanians represents Eastern Kosovo while to Serbs southern Serbia, seems to be a delayed one, however it is imposed as a necessity. According to him, reciprocity for Presevo Valley should have been the initial strategy of Albanians as a response to the request for autonomy for Serbs within Kosovo.
Newly appointed Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia Lazar Mirkić yesterday stated that principle of respect of sovereignty and territorial integrity is very important for his country, and that Bosnia and Herzegovina didn’t recognize Kosovo because it considers it to be Serbia’s internal matter.
The First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic and Ambassador of China Li Manchang yesterday expressed satisfaction with the results of the recent visit of the Serbian President Tomisalav Nikolic to Beijing.
