Berlin seeks implementation of the entire Brussels Agreement. The beginning of the negotiations will not be on the agenda of the European Council until the autumn session.

Serbia could open the first chapters in early fall; if all the points from the Brussels agreement were applied - Novosti learns at the top of the European administration.

It is certain, however, that the judicial agreement reached at the last round of dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, will not unlock chapters of Serbia with the EU.

Today Pristina celebrates seven years after it unilaterally declared independence of the southern Serbian province. Social misery and political disputes make it a potential powder keg. Exodus, huge poverty, high unemployment, unhindered crime and corruption – is picture sent to the world by the ‘Republic of Kosovo’ seven years after self-declared independence. Even though they defer on the status issue, Serbs and Albanians don’t dispute over this image.

Judges in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija have constitutionally guaranteed permanence of judicial office. The judiciary must be organized in accordance with the Constitution of Serbia.

The court system forms part of a single legal order and must be organized in accordance with the Constitution of Serbia, said today the Judges Association of Serbia on the decision of the Constitutional Court to reject the proposal to review the constitutionality and legality of the agreement between Belgrade and Pristina in that field.  

Whether will the existing laws of Kosovo be the base for the establishment of Community of Serbian municipalities, which would then lead to the level of non-governmental organizations, or Pristina will adjust the regulations so that the ZSO belong the jurisdiction agreed in Brussels - this is the main point of contention between Belgrade and Pristina, which hinders its formation.

The wave of migration from Kosovo in recent months has increased dramatically, but it is not something new. It lasts for more than two years. In 2012, 10,210 people from Kosovo sought asylum in the EU, and in 2013, twice as many, 20,215. 

Decision of Isa Mustafa to dismiss Aleksandar Jablanovic from the post of the minister for communities and return had brought into question participation of representatives of the Serbian List in the Kosovo government. Whether they will leave the government might be known already today following their talks with the Serbian Prime Minister, Aleksadar Vucic, in Belgrade.

Authorities in Pristina will request war reparations from Belgrade, shares of Kosovo enterprises that used to have branches in the Serbia proper and distribution of military premises and embassies of the former SFRY, Novosti learned unofficially.

Interview with the Director of the Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Đurić.

Continuation of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina on 9 February is seen by the Serbian side as an opportunity to launch important topics such as Association/Community of Serb municipalities and its statute, along with the review of all unsettled and unimplemented parts of the first Brussels Agreement whose elements should be clarified.

Serbs in Central Kosovo claim that they are damaged by expropriation of land carried out by the Kosovo government for the sake of construction of the high-way which connects Kosovo with Albania.

Besides the low prices for expropriated parcels of the most fertile land, owners claim that they are damaged and because parts of their parcels are now cut through and inaccessible.

Last week Border police prevented 18 migrants from Kosovo and Metohija to irregularly cross the border with Hungary. Two people from Subotica and Prizren were detained for trafficking in people. They are just one example of people who are trying to escape from ‘free Kosovo’ and reach the Western countries, through Serbia. 

Although they formally try to stop them, Kosovo police, for a fee, turn a blind eye on full buses, which are going in the middle of the night or early in the morning, in the direction of Belgrade, and further on to Subotica.
