A ship with a container full of the latest weaponry for the needs of (a future) Kosovo army is on its way across the Atlantic to the port of Durres in Albania. Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti writes this on Wednesday.

According to the newspaper, the dangerous cargo will be from there taken to Kosovo Security Forces bases. The daily further cites the data received by the Serbian security services, to report that "this conspirative arrangement is part of Pristina's scenario to take control of the northern (Serb) part of the province."

Kosovo’s Constitutional Court former President, Enver Hasani, told N1 the creation of Pristina’s army depended on the support of local Serbs and the necessary constitutional changes, adding without them an army could not be formed.

In an interview with N1, Hasani added that by adopting the laws Kosovo would not create an army but would start a 10-year-long process of transformation of the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) into the military.

Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama said the 100 percent tariffs imposed by Pristina on goods from Serbia are ''not normal, but the situation is not normal as well,'' regional broadcaster N1 reported.

''In normal conditions this would be a problem,'' Rama told reporters at a meeting of the Central European Initiative, adding that Serbia violated the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA).

The Head of the Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun said that Serbia cannot block the transformation of Kosovo’s Security Forces (KSF) into an army but can ask Washington and NATO to guarantee the force would not cross into the north, N1 reported last night.

Drecun added that the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue on normalisation of relations would continue and that Pristina made some moves to secure a better position in the final stage of negotiations in Brussels.

Russian Ambassador in Serbia Alexander Chepurin termed Pristina’s taxes on goods from central Serbia as “a farce” while their consequences might be numerous, Tanjug news agency reported.

According to Ambassador Chepurin such decisions of Pristina are result of nervousness and stalemate, since an increased number of countries are revoking recognitions of Kosovo.

“There are 11 countries now that have revoked recognition of Kosovo. This is a tendency that started to walk on Pristina’s nerves,” Ambassador Chepurin noted.

Serbian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Rasim Ljajic met in Belgrade with Bosnian Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Mirko Sarovic, RTS reports.

The two officials discussed situation created in the aftermath of Pristina’s discriminatory decision to impose taxes on the goods from Serbia and B&H. They agreed that this measure practically stopped trade of the two countries with Pristina.

The Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) and the Association of Journalists of Kosovo and Metohija (DNKiM) again urge Pristina to stop restricting the rights of the Serbian people in Kosovo to the information on their mother tongue and to urgently ensure unhindered distribution of the print media. These associations point out that, unlike other products, print media on the market are irreplaceable goods, especially given the fact that no daily or weekly newspaper in the Serbian language is printed in Kosovo, reports Serbian media in Kosovo.

Aleksandar Vucic says that "we are driven into a corner" and asked, "what shall we do on December 15 when hotheads move to the north of Kosovo and Metohija."

The Serbian President was addressing an unscheduled press conference late on Monday when he said he was "bringing bad news" and that even after (EU Commissioner) Johannes Hahn's trip to Pristina, "the Albanians would not even hear about the abolition of the taxes (on goods from central Serbia)."

The announcement of the formation of the Kosovo army is the biggest threat to peace and security in the region so far, said Marko Djuric, director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, reports Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

"The establishment of this illegal formation would jeopardize everything that have been achieved so far in the process of normalizing the relations between Belgrade and Pristina," said Marko Djuric.

The European Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn paid a short visit to Belgrade and meet with the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. The meeting took place prior to Hahn’s trip to Pristina where he is set to discuss recent Pristina’s decision to increase taxes on goods from central Serbia and Bosnia by 100 percent, FoNet news agency reported.
