I am aware of the pressures Serbs are experiencing from Serbia's parallel structures in Kosovo, one of which is the Serbian List, but the Serb community in Kosovo should gain strength and rebuild behind the more moderate Serb parties and politicians in Kosovo, Self-determination leader Albin Kurti said in an interview with Belgrade based weekly NIN.
Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov says that United States intend to revise Brussels agreement, in part related to Community/Association of Serbian Municipalities (ZSO), TASS reported, Serbian media is quoting.
In that way, the US is trying to "pull Kosovo into NATO" and keep its military base there.
Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told Prva TV “for Pristina authorities the Serbs are always to blame.”
Dacic added he has no information that would confirm accusations of the Kosovo FM Behgjet Pacolli who claims that diplomatic office of Pristina in Copenhagen was attacked by the Serbian citizens in Denmark.
Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti reports that a comprehensive legally binding agreement between Belgrade and Pristina should cover all outstanding issues in line with international law and EU acquis and contribute to regional stability.
According to the Belgrade daily daily Vecernje Novosti, in that "given framework", there will be room for possible "amendments".
This should speed up the closure of the Kosovo issue, according to Western leaders, reports the daily.
Vecernje Novosti writes that at the Paris summit, if it comes to it, could be revealed what is among these "recommendations".
Damon Wilson, executive vice president at the Atlantic Council, told N1 that the world was moving on fast and it was really "in the interest of Serbia and Kosovo to close that chapter so that they can compete in the future otherwise their populations are going to vote with their feet and leave" their countries.
On the second day of the visit to Berlin, the delegation of the Serbian List, the President Goran Rakic, Vice President Dalibor Jevtic and members of the Presidency Bratislav Nikolic and Sasa Milosavljevic spoke with Advisor to German Chancellor Matthias Lüttenberg.
Statement by Hashim Thaci that Community/Association of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) will not be formed is the best test for the authority of the European Union, said Aleksandar Vulin, Serbian Minister of Defense, reports KIM radio, quoting Belgrade based TV Pink.
According to Vulin, if this statement goes without sanctions, it will mean that the EU is leaving the Western Balkans both in diplomatic and security terms.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said it cannot ignore "a series of steps taken by the current Albanian leadership in connection with the consolidation of the Albanian factor within the regional policy of Tirana," reported Radio Television of Serbia.
