Kosovo is a priority in all Serbian diplomatic activities, Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told Novosti daily, adding that the visit of Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel is important since this country would now have more understanding for Serbia.

Dacic emphasized it is important “to reach to everyone,” but he does not expect the EU would act differently now.

“The EU suffers from a serious disease, and it is muteness and deafness when it comes to Serbia. Maybe this disease can be cured, but one should work on it,” Dacic said.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic emphasizes today that it is not the first time that some Kosovo officials called Presevo and Bujanovac, eastern Kosovo, reminding that these are the goals since the Prizren League to the present day, report Serbian media.

Dacic was asked to comment Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj's statement on eastern Kosovo, and said that he does not know exactly what he said in Albanian but that he has no dilemma about it.

Serbian Justice Minister Nela Kuburovic expressed her fear that the KLA Special War Crimes Tribunal, on which the EU insists, would remain "a dead letter on paper", reports Serbian media.

"I am not sure how much that court will come to life at all, because for so long the indictments have been announced, but nothing is happening," Kuburovic told Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti, reports KIM Radio.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic says that the upcoming meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be extremely important for the future of Serbia, but that he does not expect a change in Germany's relationship towards the Kosovo issue, reports NMagazin.

Serbian diplomat, Zoran Milivojevic told RTS that recent threats voiced by Hashim Thaci indicate there is no political will in Pristina to reach a compromise and normalization of relations with Belgrade, therefore forthcoming talks between Serbian President, Aleksandar Vuci and EU leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel are crucial for the continuation of EU integration.

Serbia is engaged in politics of peace, and will not deal with guns and weapons, President Aleksandar Vucic said in response to the threats by Hashim Thaci.

Thaci said earlier that he would respond to alleged threats from Serbia "with guns, just like 19 years ago."

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is supposed to meet with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci in Brussels today, Serbian media reported. Vucic and Thaci should discuss the general situation in Belgrade-Pristina relations, implementation of existing agreements and exchange stances on the new phase of a dialogue on comprehensive normalization of relations.

The presidents of Kosovo and Serbia are to restart the stalled negotiation process between the two governments in Brussels on Friday, almost seven months after they last met.

Presidents Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci are to continue the EU-led negotiations on normalising relations between Serbia and Kosovo on Friday, after the latest round of experts’ dialogue failed to make progress.

Leader of the People’s Party Vuk Jeremić said for the TV N1 morning news that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić requested a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday night for Wednesday.

“That’s not how it’s done in the United Nations, one cannot ask today for tomorrow, it looks bad in the eyes of the international community” Jeremić said. He added he learned from international sources that President Vučić did not ask for security detail during his stay in New York.

Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti writes that the implementation of energy agreement is blocked because there is no Community/Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO).

Establishment of the ZSO, energy and opening of the bridge in Mitrovica for the traffic, are the topics discussed by technical teams of Belgrade and Pristina on Monday in Brussels at the beginning of a three-day round of dialogue at the expert level.
