There will not be border corrections or the territory swap between Kosovo and Serbia because that would leave the unforeseen consequences, Bodo Weber, a German analyst, has said, the KoSSev website reported.

EC spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic says the EU expects all agreements reached within the Kosovo dialogue to be implemented "without delay."

Chairperson of Srpska Lista, Goran Rakic said due to the stances of Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija, who are violating Brussels agreements and dialogue, as well as silence from Brussels, Srpska Lista addressed Belgrade and requested consultations with President Vucic in order to define forthcoming steps ahead, RTS reported.
Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric told RTS that Pristina’s refusal to continue dialogue is dangerous and irresponsible as well as negation of accepted obligations.
The stances of Kosovo politicians that can be heard over the last days are contrary to the dialogue idea and lead towards a stalemate, Djuric added.
Members of the Management Team for establishment of Association/Community of Serb-Majority Municipalities met today with representatives of the education system and discussed ways how this area should be treated within ZSO draft Statute, Radio kontakt plus reported.
A broad consensus and the will of a majority in our society must exist for a legally binding agreement with Pristina to be reached.
President Aleksandar Vucic said this in an interview published on Wednesday by Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti.
Asked whether Serbia could sign a legally-binding agreement with the so-called "Kosovo" - and still not be allowed to join the EU, the Serbian president replied that he "would not view it as a barter."
