Kosovo Foreign Affairs Minister Behgjet Pacolli said that any other politician elected for the new Prime Minister would abolish tariffs, except Ramush Haradinaj.

"I repeat, winner of the election, the future prime minister who says he will keep the tariffs, is lying. I exclude Haradinaj from this because I know him as stubborn and when he fixates on something, you cannot change a thing. He does not change his position easily," Pacolli told KTV, quotes Belgrade based agency Beta.

The Kosovo press reports that Haradinaj has hired lobbyists who tried to contract official meetings with senior US officials by circumventing official channels.

The reason was, reportedly, emails received by the National Security Council from the office of the then Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramush Haradinaj and the company he had paid to lobby for him. Such a move, unprecedented in US diplomatic practice, required a sharp response from US officials.

Serbian opposition leader Dragan Djilas told reporters on Thursday that his Party of Freedom and Justice has a plan for Kosovo which does not include President Aleksandar Vucic and his partners in Pristina.

Outgoing Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj visited Urosevac, where he spoke about the efforts to prevent Kosovo's partition in direct communication with citizens.

He said that there were times when he was told that nothing can be done without Serbia's "consent", Gazeta Express carried.

Outgoing Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj stated that if Serbia denies Kosovo recognition, there is no sense in discussing things with them, reports B92 portal quoting Kosovo based media.

Leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj justified his decision to impose 100% tariffs to Serbian goods, presenting what coalition AAK-PDK has to offer now, reports Zvecan based Kosovo online portal.

Chairman of the Serbian National Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun said Albanians are not ready to take part in the process of finding out who were the perpetrators of the most serious crimes, Tanjug news agency reported.

According to Drecun their aim is to make the investigations difficult, conceal the evidence and prevent finding of the truth.

Russian ambassador to Serbia Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko told N1 on Thursday that Russia sees Serbia as a link between the West and Moscow, adding the free trade agreement between Serbia and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was expected to be signed on October 25.

He added that Serbia’s road to the European Union should not distant the country from EAEU.

Botsan-Kharchenko also said that EU candidates should not face a choice between Brussels or Moscow.

Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Working Group has gathered new evidence that can take Ramush Haradinaj to the indictment seat, Chairman of the Committee Milovan Drecun told RTS. He added almost 160 illegal prisons of the KLA were identified.

Drecun also told RTS the working group is doing its utmost to gather as much evidence as possible, to provide documentation and possible witnesses who would confirm the crimes committed by Ramush Haradinaj.

Chairman of the Serbian National Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun told RTS in order to continue the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue it is necessary to revoke the tariffs and stronger engagement of the international community.

RTS recalled that EU Enlargement and Neighborly Policy Commissioner Johannes Hahn said earlier resolution of the Kosovo issue is a priority for the international community and it is crucial for the development of an entire region. At the same time, the EU did not make Pristina revoke the tariffs so far.

President of European Serb Movement from Kosovo and Metohija Rada Trajkovic said the fact that Ramush Haradinaj did not speak about the details of the indictment and the hearing before The Hague Special Court indicates that perhaps there were questions related to the murders of Albanians, and this, according to Trajkovic, would negatively affect his rating, TV N1 reports.

Trajkovic said in a statement to FoNet news agency that KLA lead by Ramush Haradinaj and Hashim Thaci as one of its aims had the conflict with the-then Kosovo leader Ibrahim Rugova and his people.
