German Ambassador in Pristina Christian Heldt commented on recent controversy related to changing the history that occurred after the Kosovo Ministry of Culture restoration of Saint Nikola Church in Novo Brdo, for which Serbian Orthodox Church and the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts said it is a part of the Orthodox heritage, represented as Catholic cathedral, KoSSev portal reported.

A group of Serbian academics, politicians, public personalities and heads of the Serbian Orthodox Church Monasteries in a written statement published by Belgrade-based daily Danas warned President Vucic that “signing of legally-binding agreement on comprehensive normalization of relations with Kosovo or division of Kosovo and Metohija between Serbia and so-called Kosovo would be the most defeating act in a modern Serbian history.”

A more intensive cooperation between the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts (SANU) and education and scientific institutions in Kosovo was agreed during a meeting between the Serb National Forum from Kosovo and President of SANU, Vladimir Kostic, KIM Radio reported today.

Serb National Forum Deputy President, Aleksandar Djikic said the meeting went very well.

Deputy President of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts (SANU), Academic Ljubomir Maksimovic announced the SANU would start publishing on 12 March 2018, a book containing academics’ papers on Kosovo, including conclusions from discussions in different SANU’s departments on this topic, Serbian media reported.

This, according to Maksimovic, would be SANU’s contribution to the internal dialogue on Kosovo, launched by the President Aleksandar Vucic.
