The Balkans can easily become one of the chessboards where the big power game can be played, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on Monday.

Mogherni made the remark following the meeting of EU's Foreign Affairs Council, when a reporter asked how deep the concern was about Russian interference in the Western Balkans - "and to what extent are member-states seeking action in that regard."

Belgrade is interested in continuing the dialogue with Pristina, Director of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić said Wednesday at a meeting with members of the EU Council Working Party on Enlargement and Countries Negotiating Accession to the EU (COELA), but he expressed concern over the fact that expert teams had not met in Brussels since November.

Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday urged EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini and her team to react to Pristina's conduct, noting the EU had clearly said it would react if someone violated the agreement reached in Brussels late Wednesday. "I want her to make it clear that the (Kosovo) Albanian side did that - anything else would mean dodging responsibility", Vucic told reporters in Raska, central Serbia, after a meeting with Kosovo Serb representatives.

Serbian Progressive Party led by Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has strongly condemned the attack on the Serbian member of parliament in the north of Kosovo, Tanjug reported. In a statement to the press, the party said violence is “unacceptable” and that the attack “was a cowardly act.”

Jevtić told Tanjug that peace and stability have no alternative, and the meeting from last night and the continuation of the dialogue in Brussels were of great importance for peace and stability in Kosovo.

Lawyer Toma Fila is confident that Serbia seeks extradition of Ramush Haradinaj for new criminal offenses and that it has the evidence for it.
