Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday that "the whole western world, with exceptions, considers Kosovo as a whole, sovereign, and indivisible territory," Serbian media reports today.

This was the Serbian president's reaction to German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying a day earlier she was "against changing borders in the Balkans."

"She already did delimitation between us -  by separating the whole of Kosovo from Serbia," Vucic said, and the concept of "delimitation" with the Albanians that he has been advocating for recently.

It has been close to twenty years since the killings, kidnappings and disappearances of 14 Serbian and Albanian journalists in Kosovo.

These crimes happened between 1998 and 200, and no one has been brought to justice, the Council of Europe (CoE) has stated on its website.

This Monday marks 15 years since unknown persons opened fire from automatic weapons on a group of Serb youths in Kosovo.

They were spending a summer day on the banks of the Bistrica River, near their homes in the Serb enclave of Gorazdevac - a village in the western part of Kosovo.
19-year-old Ivan Jovovic, and 12-year-old Pantelija Dakic were killed in the attack.

On International Youth Day, RYCO secretary general and his deputy wrote a letter to the youth of the Western Balkans.

Djuro Blanusa's and Fatos Mustafa's letter is also addressed to stakeholders involved in the youth related field.
The letter reads the following:

As prejudice and stereotyping continue to shape attitudes in the Western Balkans, the culture of separation does not serve the interests of youth, the region and European integration, we have to jointly work hard and enable the youth of the region to bring the much needed change.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says Moscow does not support "delimitation" as the solution to the Kosovo problem.

The idea was floated earlier by Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, while President Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday revealed this was "his policy" on the issue.

Asked about the position of Russia in terms of demarcation, Zaharova responded by asking: "You will not have a problem with that?"

The DSS has assessed that President Aleksandar Vucic’s policy favoring "delineation" with the Albanians represents an unconstitutional activity.

The opposition party - which recently announced it was leaving all local-level coalition with Vucic's ruling DSS - said in a press release on Thursday that such an idea implies advocating in favor of changing Serbia's state borders, and in favor of renouncing a part of the country's territory.

Radomir Laban, who escaped central Serbia to avoid going to jail on a corruption conviction, has been named a judge of the Kosovo Constitutional Court.

OSCE's media freedom representative has told the EFJ he began consultations with the president of the Serbian Commission Investigating Murders of Journalists.

The commission is headed by Veran Matic.

OSCE's Harlem Desir said that the consultations began on how to reopen investigations into the killings and disappearances of 14 journalists and media workers in Kosovo and Metohija, the Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) announced on Wednesday.

President Aleksandar Vucic met on Wednesday in Belgrade with Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Member Mladen Ivanic.

According to a press release from Vucic's office, during the conversation, he "stressed the need to strengthen political relations and economic cooperation."

September could be a key month in resolving the Kosovo issue, writes the daily Blic.

The newspaper writes that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will travel to China after visiting to Kosovo, and will then go to New York, where he will speak at the United Nations.
As the solution enters the final stage, Serbia's president is in for a fierce diplomatic offensive throughout September, the daily said.
