Kosovo’s Principal Deputy Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, indicated today during the Kosovo government meeting that the 18 April protest by the opposition will be violent. “I want to emphasize that announcing a violent protest is the worst possible message for the current political and institutional circumstances and for Kosovo’s Euro-Atlantic prospects,” Thaci said. “Political rights can be fulfilled only through a regular and democratic elections process and not through blackmails, threats or violent attempts to take over power”.

Kosovo’s Principal Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Hashim Thaci, told Slovenian weekly Reporter that Serbs are part of the Kosovo Assembly and that soon they will rejoin the government and other institutions. “Kosovo is home to all its residents and together we can build a future with the participation of all communities in state institutions,” he said. Thaci said that the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities will be created in line with the Brussels agreement reached between Pristina and Belgrade.

Members of the Kosovo Assembly will vote on the establishment of a special court that will address war crimes allegations, in late April or early May. Unnamed sources told Politiko that this timeline has been agreed by Kosovo institutions and international officials, unless there are no unexpected developments. Hashim Thaci and Isa Mustafa, the leaders of the two biggest parties in Kosovo, as well as President Atifete Jahjaga, have expressed full support for the establishment of the court.

Kosovo Foreign Minister and Deputy PM Hashim Thaci has accepted an invitation "to come to Belgrade" on April 24, his deputy has confirmed.

Selimi also observed that "the Kosovo government and the police have been able to guarantee complete security to President Nikolic, Prime Minister Vucic and other top-ranked Serbian officials who visited Kosovo."

I do not have any information about the visit of Hashim Thaci to Belgrade and I have learned about it from the media, said Ivica Dacic, Serbian Foreign Minister and added that Serbia has not received any formal request for approval of such a visit.

Dacic told reporters in Belgrade that meeting, as media reports, at which should participate and Hashim Thaci, will not be organized by the state than the non-governmental sector. He also said that he as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia will not participate in it.

Kosovo’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Hashim Thaci, will visit Belgrade on 24 April if there is readiness in Serbia for such a visit. Kosovo’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Petrit Selimi, told Radio Free Europe that the ministry accepted the invitation of the Youth Council for Education to take part in a conference about Western Balkans EU integration but whether the visit would take place is a matter that “does not depend on Kosovo but on the readiness in Belgrade”.

The front page editorial  of this daily criticizes the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), respectively its leaders, Hashim Thaci and Kadri Veseli, for lacking to initiate earlier a judicial procedure against Serbia for damages and crimes in Kosovo.  “Why didn’t you bother earlier to address the consequences of violence, massacres, burnings and destructions that Belgrade regime caused to Albanians?

The global Muslim community is suffering a deep crisis. The failure of the "Arab Spring" led, most prominently, to horrendous bloodletting in Syria. In this carnage, both the Damascus dictatorship of Bashar Al-Assad, which is supported by the Iranian regime, and the ultra-Wahhabi "Islamic State" that opposes the civil resistance to Bashar, are guilty.
