Serbian National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic said she expects the EU to react to threats against President Aleksandar Vucic made before his announced visit to Kosovo, Serbian media reported.
Gojkovic added, she hopes the EU would not urge the both sides to ease tensions, because Belgrade threatened no one this time.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic arrived in Brussels, where he would meet EU High Representative Federica Mogherini at 10.00 today, Tanjug news agency reported.
According to his agenda, Tanjug had insight into, following Vucic-Mogherini meeting, a trilateral meeting was supposed to take place, including participation of Kosovo President Hashim Thaci. It remains uncertain for the time being, and the plan also included a working lunch.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will talk in Brussels with European representatives only, but not with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, RTS reported.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic neither confirmed nor denied this information, saying it is certain Vucic would talk to EU High Representative Federica Mogherini, and would decide there about other meetings.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic during his visit to Kosovo on 8 and 9 September would inform people there how the dialogue with Albanians is ongoing and offer a framework of solution to the Kosovo issue, Chairperson of the Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun told RTS.
“He would, the most probably, offer a framework of the solution the way he sees it and listen to the opinion of Serb representatives there, to open a discussion in order to know how to move forward,” Drecun added.
Ahead of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s Kosovo visit, there are reports of Kosovo Serbs who work for Belgrade-funded institutions being compelled to attend his rally.
Some Kosovo Serb representatives say that employees of institutions funded by Serbia in Kosovo are being pressured to attend a rally in support of President Aleksandar Vucic, and fear reprisals if they do not show up.
"He (Marko Jaksic) attacked his country, President Vucic and Srpska Lista, and he praised those whom he had insulted many times while standing on a pulpit, such as the tragically murdered Oliver Ivanovic and Sava Janjic,“ Srpska Lista told TV Most in a reaction to the statements Marko Jaksic made earlier, KoSSev portal reported.
Announced visit of the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo and Metohija would be a marketing, that should show to the Serbs it is better to live in “Greater Albania” than in Serbia, member of the Serb Fatherland Movement Marko Jaksic told Danas daily.
Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery, Father Sava Janjic in an interview for Russian Komersant said that Serbs in Kosovo are not mere numbers, percentages or statistical errors, termed an idea on delineation “as delineation with a common sense” and added that people are concerned over the talks on division, Danas daily reports.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic believes it is likely possible the agreement between Belgrade and Pristina will not be reached. However, according to the President it is highly important that everything he said is recorded, KoSSev portal reported.
Lists of school employees in central Kosovo who will be attending the rally of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic are being prepared, KoSSev portal reports.
The rally would take place during announced Vucic’s visit on September 8 and 9, in Mitrovica North, although it was announced earlier that the rally would happen in Zubin Potok. The lists with the names of those who will not be attending this gathering are also being made, it was confirmed for RTV Kim.
