Brussels-based correspondent Augustin Palokaj writes in an opinion piece that the European Union and Russia have shown exceptional interest in Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Serbia. “Western politicians do not hide their wishes for Aleksandar Vucic, leader of the Serbian Progressive Party, to win the elections”. Palokaj notes that Vucic has maintained brotherly relations with Russia and meanwhile has gotten closer with the European Union and the United States of America.

It is not excluded that the current ban for the Serbs with the Serbian identity cards has not been negotiated between Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci, suspect the Patriotic block.

Representatives of the DSS and Dveri believe that the prohibition of the passage for the Serbs from Kosovo through the administrative crossings between central Serbia and Kosovo with the personal documents of the state of Serbia is something that arises from the Brussels Agreement.

During the election campaign for the Serbian parliamentary elections, some leaders of political parties visited Kosovo, while entry into Kosovo  for others like the President of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), Vojislav Seselj and the Chief of the Serbian General Staff, Ljubisa Dikovic, was denied in advance. The reasons, as Petrit Selimi, the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Government of Kosovo, says, are that they are war criminals and that they will never enter Kosovo.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic says that he does not interfere with daily or an individual political decisions of the Kosovo Serbs, neither with the issue of whether the Serbian List will leave the Kosovo Assembly.

He points out that they will certainly have the support of Belgrade, until it is unambiguously clear that their country is Serbia, Belgrade the capital and that they are protecting the future.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa promised a speedy reaction towards the recent visits of the Serbian officials in Kosovo as well as the announcements that they made. “Today we are visiting the most senior institution of education in Kosovo, therefore I would want to focus on this. However I promise that during the day or tomorrow, we will respond to your questions, but in the government building,” Mustafa said.

Montenegrin Liberal Party (CLS) fully supports the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and its president Aleksandar Vucic, in the next elections, said Snezana Karadzic, founder of the CLS.

Karadzic states that the CLS sincerely appreciates the policy of cooperation, a policy of unity and reconciliation in the region, for which advocates the SNS and its President.

Aleksandar Vucic will travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday "to meet with Muslim leader Bakir Izetbegovic in an effort to defuse recent tensions." The Serbian Prime Minister also announced that he may make a similar trip to Croatia in the coming weeks, the Politico website said on Monday.

Kosovo media have covered the visit of Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo on Sunday, and mainly focused on places he paid a visit to and key messages he conveyed. However, following the visit, negative comments of Kosovo officials and politicians, as expected, have been published as well.

Prime Minister Vucic has requested permission from the Kosovo Government to visit Kosovo Serbs with dual citizenship, who will vote in Serbian elections. Such permission is given, and we regret that this opportunity has not been used to promote better neighbourly relations but to spread the false statements in connection with the property, said to Danas daily, the Acting Head of Kosovo Foreign Ministry Petrit Selimi, commenting on the visit and the rhetoric of the Serbian Prime Minister during his visit to Kosovo.

The Committee of the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) in Kosovo says that the explosion in Zubin Potok, on the eve of the visit of Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, actually is "mounted diversion", and "directed" the Prime Minister himself.
