The real reasons for the protest in Pristina are economic and social, not political, say the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric. The property question will certainly be on the agenda of the talks in Brussels, said Djuric.

Marko Djuric, visiting the RTS morning news, said that 15 years nobody deals with accumulated problems in Kosovo.

Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the economy from the region, in the framework of the Berlin Process, will be held in Pristina, last week of March, Danas has learned from sources in Pristina. Then, according to our source, is expected the first visit of the Head of the Serbian Diplomacy, Ivica Dacic to Kosovo, and the Economy Minister Zeljko Sertic. The meeting, like the previous two in Berlin and Belgrade, will be organized by the Gymnich formula, i.e. without the display of national symbols.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ivica Dacic will go in March in Pristina, where he will participate in the continuation of the ministerial summit of the Western Balkans, whose first meeting was held in Belgrade, at the end of October. 

Serbian authorities require status neutral format of the meeting i.e. holding of the meeting without state insignia, as it was the case at the conference in Belgrade in October. 

Daniel Serwer, a conflict management expert, writes in an opinion piece for Kosova Sot, that the year 2014 was not a very good year for Kosovo. Serwer writes that the implementation of Pristina – Belgrade agreements have stalled. The international recognitions for Kosovo have been slowed down. June elections resulted in a six months crisis. And, "we saw many familiar faces in the new government that was created finally".

Kosovo police have arrested a Serbian national suspected of planning a terrorist attack, the interior minister told a news conference on Friday.

The suspect, from Belgrade, was arrested on Thursday evening with 12.2 kilos (27 pounds) of explosives in his car in a street in the Kosovan capital Pristina where many Western embassies are located, Skender Hyseni said.

"We suspect the clear aim of this person was to commit a terrorist attack," he told journalists.

Municipality of Pristina allocated 50 thousand euros for the poor families. Mayor of Pristina, Shpend Ahmeti, said that he hopes that this amount will help a little bit these families for the holiday season. “Around 50 thousand euros saved throughout the year from Pristina municipality will be allocated for the poor families. We are aware that this does not even closely meet the requirements and needs of the citizens, but our goal is to help as many families as we can," said Ahmeti.

Next meeting of the Foreign and Economy ministers from the region, where again will meet Ivica Dacic and Enver Hoxhaj, will be held in Pristina, by the end of the year. Brussels already sent the Kosovo authorities strict instructions how that gathering should look like.

At the end of the conference in Belgrade attended by regional ministers including Kosovo’s Enver Hoxhaj and Fadil Ismajli, it has been decided that the upcoming such meeting will be held in Pristina. This was confirmed by Foreign Minister Hoxhaj in a Twitter post. The Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, said however that the meeting in Pristina will take place after the new institutions are established.

BRUSSELS - Discussions on the normalisation of Belgrade-Pristina ties - which ended on Thursday with the initialling of plans to build improved integrated crossings at the administrative line with Kosovo - resumed in Brussels early Friday under the auspices of the European Union.

As opposed to Thursday, when the two delegations were in direct discussions in the European External Action Service building in Brussels, Friday's discussions are being held in bilateral format, which means that the teams will hold separate meetings with European Commission (EC) experts.
