Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic will visit Kosovo in the next 20 days, the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric announced during the weekend.

Vucic will visit the Serb communities both north and south of the River Ibar and speak with Serb representatives to see "what, and how, is being done and how people live," Djuric told the RTS.

If the attempt to elect a new president for Kosovo fails, parliamentary elections will be automatically scheduled, and this will prolong the deadlock of the formation of the Association / Community of Serb Municipalities (A/CSM), to least until the summer. Even if Hashim Thaci were to gain the support required for his election as President, there is a possibility that he will soon dissolve the Assembly, as an answer to the political instability in Kosovo.

MP and president of the Party for Democratic Action (PDD) Riza Halimi said that there was no serious discussion among the Albanian parties in southern Serbia on possible joint participation in parliamentary elections. Halimi said that before the last parliamentary elections, some of the local Albanian political leaders advocated a boycott of the elections for the Assembly of Serbia. "I expect that at the moment when elections will be scheduled, the activities of the political leadership in Pristina and Tirana will start.

Citizens of Kosovo with the right to vote will be able to elect Serbian Parliament MPs. However, to ensure the safety and security of the election process, as in previous years, the OSCE will be included in the process. This agreement was reached during the last round of talks in Brussels, though Pristina unwillingly accepted.  However, OSCE officials in Kosovo said that so far no one has approached them with this issue so far: “The OSCE mission supported Republic of Serbia central elections in Kosovo in 2012 and 2014.

President of the Serbian Assembly Maja Gojkovic met with her counterpart Galust Sahakian, President of the State Serzh Sargsyan, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian, in Armenia. She thanked Armenia for its principled position regarding the non-recognition of Kosovo and for the support to Serbia during the voting for admission of Kosovo in UNESCO. It was emphasized that improvement of relations between the two countries can be achieved through cooperation of Parliaments but also in the areas of economy and culture.

The Serbian List will decide whether Serbian candidates will present themselves for President of Kosovo. The Albanian political elite in Pristina needs to get used to the fact that the Serbs have a right to be part of decision-making in the province and that they cannot only be political decor that contributes to creating the false image of a multi-ethnic society, said Marko Djuric, Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo.

Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov said that many European countries recognized Kosovo's independence, despite the fact that the referendum on the secession from Serbia was never held, adding that the same should be applicable in the case of Crimea. In an interview for Italian newspaper Lee-mes, he said that opposing Crimea's right to join Russia, which happened in accordance with International Law, is simply absurd.

The Serbian List will soon announce Vinka Radosavljevic, the current Head of Pec/Peja district, as a candidate for President of Kosovo. She graduated in Economics and before her current assignment she was a professor at a school in Vidanje, Klina/Kline municipality.

On the eve of elections of the new President of Kosovo the idea has surfaced that a Serb could put him or herself forward for the position. Although it is hard to believe that he or she could would be able to get two thirds of the votes in the Kosovo Parliament, it would allow for Serbian MPs to avoid the pressures of having to choose which Albanian candidate to support.

Five EU members that have not recognized Kosovo's independence are under pressure to change their position. Most recently the pressure has been from PACE resolution that has called upon the five member states to recognize Kosovo. As Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said to Novosti, one of the Serbian priorities is that Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and Cyprus retain their current positions.
