Leader of Peoples’ Party Vuk Jeremic told RTV Kursumlija that forming of “Kosovo army” is scandalous, and the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic bears a great proportion of the blame for it, since, according to Jeremic, Vucic agreed with Thaci on the army, on November 4, in Rome, “in the EU Mission in Vatican.”

“This is a grand treason, Vucic must be held responsible for,” Jeremic said, adding “Srpska Lista would bring the Kosovo Government down, if this is not true.”

At the extraordinary press conference of the Crisis Committee of the four northern Kosovo municipalities, President of Serbian List Goran Rakic ​​said Pristina’s decision to form Kosovo army showed that it did not want peace.

Rakic ​​has called on Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija to remain peaceful, not to fall for provocations.

He stressed that by forming Kosovo army Pristina does not want peace and that KFOR is the only one with the mandate to carry weapons and ensure peace and security.

Tanjug news agency reports that MPs of Srpska Lista do not take part in today’s Kosovo Assembly, session, set to approve laws on the transformation of Kosovo Security Forces into an army.

One day prior to the voting in Kosovo Assembly on laws foreseeing transformation of Kosovo Security Forces (KSF), there are different stances among Serbs and Albanians, whether Kosovo needs the army or not.

Igor Simic from Srpska Lista thinks that the international community remains silent on violation of the Kosovo Constitution and Resolution 1244, while Sadri Ferati thinks Belgrade uses Kosovo Serbs for its political goals.

“Srpska Lista (SL) expects that EU and the entire international community until Friday would exert strong pressure on Pristina, so the latter gives up on legal arrangements on creating the so-called Kosovo army,” member of SL Slavko Simic said, RTV KIM reports.

Fatherland Movement from Kosovo and Metohija said in a press release that everyday protests organized by the Srpska Lista Crisis Headquarters in the north are “without energy, dispirit and apathic,” KoSSev portal reports.

They urged Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic “not to hide behind the Serbs’ protests,” but to introduce reciprocity and that way fights against Pristina’s decision to increase taxes.

European Commissioner for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, Johannes Hahn met in Pristina with Srpska Lista MPs, who locked themselves in the Kosovo Assembly on Sunday, expecting his arrival, RTS reports.

Following the meeting, Srpska Lista Vice Deputy, Igor Simic said Hahn is concerned over Pristina’s measure, but does not expect taxes would be lifted any time soon. Head of the EU Office in Pristina, Nataliya Apostolova was also present in a meeting.

Serbian List (SL) Vice President Igor Simic told RTK2 that SL MPs are still in the Assembly of Kosovo.

According to him, they are exhausted, but they do not give up request to meet with EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn, because it is necessary to convey to him “how dangerous is the decision to block the distribution of Serbian products for the survival of Serbs in Kosovo”.

According to Simic, the Serbian List, unlike Slobodan Petrovic, has proved “numerous times that for SL, the interest of the Serbian people is in the first place”.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, during the meeting on Thursday, asked representatives of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija to hold only peaceful, democratic and non-violent protests, B92 reports.

The President wants this to be the case "regardless of the further moves of Pristina," Chairperson of Srpska Lista Goran Rakic said.

Mayors of Serb municipalities south of the Ibar River supported their colleagues in the north, saying that Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija are united in their attempts to defend their right to exist in the centuries old home areas, KIM Radio reports.

They remain also united in intent to voice in a peaceful and democratic manner disagreement and revolt over difficult situation that Pristina’s trade blockade brought them in.
