Regional broadcaster N1 reports that “Patriotic forces” supported by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) are planning to bring more than 70,000 people to the plateau in front of the St Sava Temple in Belgrade to greet Russian President Vladimir Putin on January 17, quoting Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s close associate, Internal Affairs Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said he would advise the president to do nothing about Kosovo and leave the problem to someone else.
Stefanovic told Monday’s issue of Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti that it would be hard to find a solution to the Kosovo problem in 2019.
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic say no one can claim that the Kosovo issue will be resolved in 2019.
He also pointed out that the fact that the Brussels dialogue has been stopped for months does not mean that a solution is not being sought.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic will together visit St. Sava's Temple in Belgrade, Vecernje Novosti is reporting.
Stanislav Hocevar, Belgrade Archbishop in an interview with Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti says that Catholics have many problems in Kosovo, especially with emigration. Less Catholic believers in Kosovo, less readiness for dialogue.
He added that it would be good if the Catholic Church is included in the dialogue on the future of Kosovo.
Vecernje Novosti reports that the new protest of the students in Mitrovica North is scheduled for today at 12.30. A walk is planned from the student canteen to the headquarters of the OSCE and UNMIK, where it will symbolically be buried International Law, UNSC Resolution 1244, the UN Charter and the military-technical agreement from Kumanovo at 12.44.
Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti today in an bombastic article with the headline '' UK to create its own Serbian list '' says that ''the British secret agents are working on preparing a ground for the party that would be a counterpart to the strongest option of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija,'' adding that more prominent compatriots will be recruited, and that a plan is implemented by Fatmir Sheholi.
Vecernje Novosti write that the security service learned this information.
Serbian media last night quoted the statement of the Government of Serbia on the CEFTA meeting held in Pristina last night. The statement reads:
Secretary general of the Serbian president Nikola Selakovic told Prva TV on Wednesday that there is no confirmation that Washington is sending a ship full of weapons to the (future) Kosovo army, quotes B92 portal.
"The very fact that the formation of the so-called Kosovo army is being considered, which is contrary to all international regulations, but also to those adopted in Kosovo, shows that they don't hesitate at nothing," said Selakovic.
The first international judge in Kosovo says that soon after arriving there he realized there would be no justice for Serbs in the Kosovo judiciary.
Cristar Karphamar was appointed as the first UN judge by the UNMIK administration led by Bernard Kouchner, and he assumed his duties in 2000.
