Clinic and Health Centre in Mitrovica North received yesterday humanitarian aid related to medical material, Director of the Centre, Milan Ivanovic told Radio kontakt plus.

“After the problems to get medicaments, due to hampering acts by Pristina, thus disabling an adequate medical treatment of our patients, yesterday on 12 December, necessary medical material from our state of Serbia arrived and it was received as humanitarian aid,” Ivanovic said, underlining that “taxes are not paid for the humanitarian deliveries.”

Prva TV correspondent from Mitrovica North reported that Serbs in Kosovo with relief heard about yesterday’s decision Pristina would not introduce additional measures, adding it does not mean they would stop protests against 100 percent taxes imposed on goods from central Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The protest in Mitrovica North would take place today as well, Prva TV reported.

Marko Djuric says that the only one authorized to respond to the measures of the Pristina authorities is "Supreme Commander Aleksandar Vucic."

The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija pointed out that Vucic, Serbia's President, was "in principle opposed to the use of force, and this would be the last option in the event of the endangering of the lives of Serbs in Kosovo."

Commenting on possible new measures of Pristina, Serbian Minister of Trade and Telecommunications, Rasim Ljajic said the trade is already stopped, and it is about further political radicalization by Pristina, Serbian media report.

“It is difficult to speculate about Pristina’s new measures,” Ljajic said, adding that “Serbia has some information about it,” but he would not comment before seeing what these measures could be.

Tensions have shown how much it is necessary to lift the measures introduced by Pristina in order to create an environment for Belgrade-Pristina dialogue continuation, Director of the Centre for Foreign Policy, Dragan Djukanovic told RTS.

Speaking for the RTS morning news edition, Djukanovic added new measures that Pristina is announcing would completely deter normalization of Belgrade-Pristina relations and it seems it is yet another mechanism Ramush Haradinaj and his government are using to slow down or bring the entire process into question.

Students of Pristina University temporarily settled in Mitrovica North would continue their protests regarding the introduction of 100 percent taxes on the goods from central Serbia, Radio Kosovska Mitrovica reported.

As announced, students would gather today near the police station and EULEX office.

Meanwhile, Radio kontakt plus reported that on Sunday, December 9, taxi drivers from Mitrovica North also staged a protest “against Pristina’s discriminatory measures”.

Serbia would make decisions on new Pristina’s measures only when and if they are undertaken, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said, Tanjug news agency reported.

Vucic added Pristina plans three new measures and none of them in the long-term is good, even for Ramush Haradinaj who is announcing them. Vucic, however, did not specify what concrete measures could be.

Serbian media last night quoted the statement of the Government of Serbia on the CEFTA meeting held in Pristina last night. The statement reads:

Reacting on Pristina’s announcements to form Kosovo army, Russian Foreign Ministry said it is “violation of UN SC Resolution 1244 and destabilizing, provocative act,” Tanjug news agency reports.

“Pristina announced plans to adopt decision on December 14, on establishing Kosovo armed forces,” Russian Ministry said, and warned “that such an act would be direct and clear violation of UN SC Resolution 1244, which is the only international legal document in relation to the Kosovo issue resolution.”

Citizens taking part in today’s protest in Mitrovica North repeated request to lift taxes Pristina imposed on the goods from central Serbia, Radio kontakt plus reports.

Goran Rakic, Chair of Srpska Lista and chief of the Crisis Headquarters urged again EU and international community to use all available mechanisms and instruments to make Pristina abolish its anti-civilization measures.

He warned that the Serbian people are on the verge of humanitarian disaster, since the food and medicaments’ supplies are decreasing.
