Belgrade does not know what Pristina is going to do in the next stage of the dialogue on normalizing relations, a senior Serbian Foreign Ministry official said on Friday.

Foreign Ministry General Secretary Veljko Odalovic said that ''it’s obvious that there is no clear signal from Pristina about the dialogue''.

''We don’t know what will happen,'' he said and added: ''We are waiting for some document and given the political climate in Pristina we don’t know what we are going to get''.

The head of Serbia’s Parliament Kosovo Committee said that a final stage of Belgrade – Pristina dialogue was approaching and that the diplomatic activities should increase, adding that Serbia would not allow Kosovo to become a UN member.

Milovan Drecun, of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), added that the final status discussion demanded a new format of negotiations.

Pristina should stop provoking the Serb people and Serbia, as Albanians in Kosovo are no longer in a position to threaten anyone, says Ivica Dacic.

The Serbian foreign minister and first deputy PM told RTS on Wednesday that yesterday's arrest of five Serbs in Kosovo was a hostile act that does not contribute creating a positive atmosphere for dialogue.

Representatives of all parties acting among Albanians in Bujanovac, Presevo and Medvedja and representatives of the non-governmental sector agreed that the Assembly of all Albanian councillors from these three municipalities will meet on July 14th and adopt a statement on political events in the region, the President of the Democratic Party of Albanians (DPA), Ragmi Mustafa told news agency FoNet.

On Monday, a commission was formed from representatives of all political parties, which will prepare the statement.

Aleksandar Vucic has told Angela Merkel he believes the Regional Economic Zone and the Nis-Pristina highway is of great importance to the Western Balkans.

The Serbian president Vucic asked the German chancellor Merkel to use her reputation and authority to speed up the realization of these two projects, Tanjug reported.

Journalist Ljiljana Smajlovic on Monday spoke for Belgrade based Television Prva (TV Prva) about the Belgrade-Pristina talks, the country's EU future, and "Trump's people"...

The Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo could meet in Brussels late this month before the summer break starts, Belgrade-based daily Politika writes in Monday' edition citing unofficial information.

Presidents Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci could meet with European Union High Representative Federica Mogherini on or around July 25, the daily reports.

Mogherini’s spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic told Politika that no date has been set for the next high-level meeting.

According to the results of the Kosovo Democratic Institute research, 91 per cent of Serbian community members would not accept Kosovo's recognition by Serbia.

The same research shows that, if the parliamentary elections were held next week, 45% of citizens would surely come out.

Serbian Minister of State Administration and Local Self-Government Branko Ruzic says that Serbia is striving to reach a sustainable solution for Kosovo through dialogue, but that it does not have well-intentioned interlocutors on the other side, reports Serbian media.

He stresses that interlocutors on the other hand, representatives of Kosovo institutions, do not have enough understanding of the spirit of the time in which we are.

Officials in the European Union believe that changing the format of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue would not speed up the settlement of the normalization of the relations of the two sides and would only take the power away; and instead of dealing with the essence, the engagement of the negotiators, at least for some time, would be about who could be involved in the dialogue, reports today N1 quoting Beta agency.
