The Serbian Foreign and Internal Affairs Ministers met on Thursday to discuss efforts to prevent Kosovo from becoming a member of Interpol.

A Serb man wanted by Interpol has been arrested at the border crossing point in Jarinje yesterday. After being interviewed at the Mitrovica Basic Court, the man, a national of Serbia, has been sent to detention, Kosovo Police announced.

EULEX Mission stated it has received a request from the Serbian authorities in November last year to arrest Radomir Laban, who has been appointed by the Kosovo Assembly as a Constitutional Court judge, but the Mission given its current mandate cannot undertake such action, Serbian media reported.

A Kosovo Serb, wanted by Belgrade and the Interpol was appointed a judge at the Constitutional Court in Pristina, the independent production Insajder has reported.

Radomir Laban, convicted of taking a bribe and sentenced to six years in jail by a Belgrade court disappeared from the grid before he was due to go to prison in 2013.

He was put on the Internet fugitive list upon the request by Serbia’s Justice Ministry in 2014.

Pristina Institute for Political Studies organised in Pristina today a roundtable about Kosovo’s membership in international organisations, specifically the Council of Europe and Interpol.

Today's edition of the Vecernje Novosti daily reports that Serbia has already begun diplomatic activities before the General Assembly of Interpol, which will be held in November in the United Arab Emirates. The activities are aimed at preventing Kosovo's admission to that organization, and as the daily reports, Moscow is the main partner of Belgrade. Moscow will lobby in Lyon, at the headquarters of this organization, for Kosovo not to be found on the final agenda of the Assembly, to be determined in autumn.

Serbian Justice Minister Nela Kuburovic expressed her fear that the KLA Special War Crimes Tribunal, on which the EU insists, would remain "a dead letter on paper", reports Serbian media.

"I am not sure how much that court will come to life at all, because for so long the indictments have been announced, but nothing is happening," Kuburovic told Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti, reports KIM Radio.

Kosovo’s Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Izmi Zeka, has responded to the statements made by Serbian Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic that Interpol has reintroduced arrests warrants against 20 Kosovo Albanians saying it is a fabrication and a myth. “Interpol is not an institution managed by Serbia which cannot dictate the format of work,” Zeka said.  “It [Serbia] cannot add any comma or full stop to Interpol’s decisions,” he added.

Arrest warrants (notices) for about 20 Kosovo Albanians issued by Serbian courts have been returned to the Interpol system. Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic announced this on Thursday, replying to reporters' questions about the visit of Serbian Police Director Vladimir Rebic to the Interpol HQ in Lyon, France.

Stefanovic said the Serbian delegation had "serious discussions" there on Wednesday, and insisted on the warrants in question to be reinstated.

Director of Serbian Police, Vladimir Rebic met yesterday with Interpol President Meng Hongwei and Secretary General Jurgen Stock, and emphasized during the talks that Serbia insists on its territorial integrity and that membership of Kosovo in this organization would neither be in interest of Serbia nor Interpol, Serbian media reported.
