National broadcaster Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports this morning that Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said in New York that Pristina officials abused the Peace Mission in Kosovo by acquiring through it passes for UN.
Their "diplomacy" is taking place in the corridors, the Serbian minister points out, assessing the actions of Pristina's representatives as "disgrace".
"Statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, that the views of Russia and Serbia on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija are identical, is a naked lie," says the People's Movement of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, portal Vesti reported.
Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Tuesday that Serbia would not first accept the independence of Kosovo and then negotiate with Pristina, adding "that’s for sure," the Beta news agency reported.
After meeting his Cape Verde’s counterpart Luis Filipe Taveras in Belgrade, Ivica Dacic told reporters that "unilaterally declared independence (of Kosovo) was an illegal act."
"Our stand is that we don’t recognise Kosovo, an illegal creation."
Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says that Serbia will not recognize Kosovo's independence and allow UN membership, and stresses that Pristina authorities daily send very diverse messages that are not related to reality, reports Serbian media.
In the case of Kosovo, a compromise should be sought, and for the statements of Hashim Thaci regarding the merger of Presevo, Dacic says that "he must say something, because he is attacked from all sides".
Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic told in the TV Pink morning programme that Hashim Thaci will certainly not visit Presevo, and that the news about it was fake.
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic spoke for Belgrade based TV Prva on Thursday morning, addressing Friday's continuation of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and the upcoming visit of President Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo, reports Serbian media.
Asked if there would be a shift in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, Dacic said:
BiH Presidency Member from Republika Srpska (RS) Mladen Ivanic says today that that he is not dissatisfied at all, as far as he is concerned, that Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli did not come to Banja Luka to an informal meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the South East European Cooperation Process (SEECP), reports Serbian media.
Participants in the process of co-operation have been identified by members of the SEECP, and adds that Pristina has been a member of this process since 2014, along with, as he points out, the consent of all.
France, like Germany, is against the "delimitation" between Belgrade and Pristina, reports today Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.
Vecernje Novosti sources point out that the opposition was expressed to any change in borders or administrative lines in the region during a conference of ambassadors held last week, which was attended by French President Emmanuel Macron. Paris's position is even tougher than Berlin's position, the daily reports.
Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says that a solution to the "Kosovo knot" could come at an international conference.
Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivica Dacic says that a solution is sought for the Kosovo issue and that a delimitation with the Albanians is just one idea, but that there are no other ideas.
He added that everyone now is opening the door to dialogue, but that there will certainly not be a discussion of two things - for Kosovo to be autonomous within Serbia and Serbia to recognize unilaterally declared Kosovo.
