James Ker-Lindsay, director of the Centre for Southeast Europe of a London School of Economics says that Belgrade must take into account its relations with Moscow until a final solution for Kosovo and Metohija
A condition for the return of Serb representatives to the Kosovo institutions is the formation of a Community/Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo.
The Belgrade-based daily, Vecernje Novosti further writes that this will be "one of the main conclusions" of the upcoming joint session of all Serb municipalities in Kosovo.
Another daily, Blic, writes that Serbian officials will once again ask Pristina to fulfil its part of the obligations stemming from the Brussels agreement during the next negotiating round at the EU seat.
Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic speaks to ‘Novosti’ about the investigation against the former director of the Military-Security Agency and accusations against the Chief of the General Staff of Serbian Armed Forces.
Our prosecution also deals with the crime in Meje near Djakovica/Gjakovë, and we have some findings and possible perpetrators. Momir Stojanovic has not appeared so far as potential perpetrator of war crimes and I don’t know what kind of evidence a colleague from EULEX has.
Former employees of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs from North Mitrovica request a meeting with the Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic. No one replied so far on their request to be redeployed in MIA or in the Kosovo Police.
Pristina has launched a procedure for creation of army of Kosovo, exactly at the moment when Serbian ministers have frozen their participation in the government!
Draft law on transformation of the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) is ready and next week it will be forwarded to the government, announced Minister for Kosovo Security Forces Haki Demolli and added that before the adoption of this law the Constitution should be amended. The aim, he said , is that new formation becomes the NATO member.
Gabriele Meucci says that so far about 20 suspects have been identified who may be subject to an indictment for war crimes committed in 1999 in Gjakova/Djakovica.
The head of the EU mission in Kosovo, EULEX, told the Belgrade-based Vecernje Novosti daily that he did not wish to reveal their names. The newspaper, however, noted that it has already been disclosed that former Military Security Agency (VBA) chief General Momir Stojanovic was on the list.
BELGRADE - Paris has made a historic mistake by recognizing Kosovo's independence, Aymeric Chauprade, European parliamentarian from France, has said, stressing that the 1999 NATO war against Serbia assisted the separatist tendencies of the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, and the European Union (EU) followed the policy pursued by the United States.
Kosovo can never join the EU because it is a hotbed of crime and is responsible for ethnic cleansing of Serbs and other non-Albanians, Chauprade said in an interview for Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti.
Momir Stojanovic former head of the Military Security Agency, current SNS MP and head of the Committee for control of the security services, has ended up on the ‘red’ Interpol’s warrant. Retired general was informed about it, as we learned, on Monday through Serbian Interpol bureau, that it Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Pristina cannot sue Serbia for alleged genocide against Albanians in 1999, because Kosovo is not a member of the United Nations.
As a professor of international law Tibor Varadi explained, in order to initiate the case there must be consent of the opposite party, or an international treaty, or convention signed by both parties: “Without it, the jurisdiction of the Court cannot be determined. That is why this whole story is dubious, as well it is very unrealistic that ICJ would be in charge of the case”.
By normalization of relations Pristina implies that they will submit a lawsuit for genocide against Serbia, while in the same time they expect from Belgrade to enable it through recognizing ‘Republic of Kosovo’ at the United Nations.
