Many in the West are more nervous about the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue than the Serbs or the Albanians are, and I do not know why, as we must speak to each other and solve problems, which is what we are doing, says Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic.
I do not understand why they are in such a rush or why someone wants to accelerate processes, Vucic said at the Ubersee business club in Hamburg Monday.
Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday expressed the suspicion that Pristina had set on its own the latest conditions for a continuation of the Brussels dialogue, which he said was not helping to solve problems, but escalating them further.
Vucic announced he would speak with EU foreign policy and security chief Federica Mogherini later in the day, with the Serbian government to also hold a session to discuss the issue.
"I have acknowledged it," was Aleksandar Vucic's response when asked about the objections made in EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini's report.
The report in question concerns the priorities of EU's common foreign and security policy for 2016.
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić has expressed doubts about the merits of the charges of terrorism against Bratislav Dikić and others arrested in Montenegro.
Given the other intelligence data collected by the Serbian services that he had at his disposal, Prime Minister says he does not believe in it, personally.
"We," he said, "still do not have any information; we have certain information obtained by our intelligence agencies."
The Prime Minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić spoke about the arrest of the Kosovo Police director for Mitrovica region, Nehat Thaçi. He said that Thaci went to Serbia illegally and that “all we know about him is that he was arrested based on a warrant issued in 1997.Do you believe that someone arrested him for political reasons? No one did this. There was an arrest warrant," said the Serbian Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, said during his speech at the Security Forum in Belgrade that Kosovo is the point where he does not agree at all with the Prime Minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić. He told the Serbian Prime Minister that it would have been better for everyone if Serbia recognized Kosovo.
He added however that the political leaders in Pristina and Belgrade should be commended for the ongoing dialogue.
The Serbian Government has decided to nullify “all and any legal effects of all and any acts or actions” of institutions in Priština regarding Trepča.
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić said that this means that the Government largely accepted the proposals of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija with the aim of “keeping Trepča in operation.”
The Serbian government on Tuesday decided to annul all the legal consequences of acts and actions by the interim self-government institutions in Pristina regarding the factual and legal position of the Trepca mining complex, PM Aleksandar Vucic said.
“We were compelled to make such a decision as we want Trepca to continue to operate,” he told a press conference.
Trepca is vital for the survival of nothern Kosovo-Metohija, Vucic noted.
The government of Kosovo considers that Serbia’s reactions with regards to the Trepça Law are vain and pointless. To the authorities in Pristina, claims of the Prime Minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić that he will annul Pristina’s decisions related to Trepça, do not have any judicial or practical impact.
The Government of Serbia has announced that it has decided to annul all legal consequences of the Kosovo authorities’ actions related to Trepça status.
Kosovo Assembly MP from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Vjosa Osmani, advised the government to breach the coalition with the Serbian List and replace it with the other Serb party Serbian Liberal Party (SLS), which currently has five MPs at the Assembly.
