Several hours after publishing them, Pristina-based media denied their own stories about deployment of Serbian troops to the boundary with Kosovo, Serbian media write today.

Serbia deployed "armed troops to the border with Kosovo," media in Pristina reported earlier, according to the Beta news agency.

"This is the first time since 2008 and the declaration of independence that Serbia has sent soldiers and Gendarmes so close to the border with Kosovo," the report continued.

Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric dismissed claims of Kosovo PM and his deputy, Ramush Haradinaj and Enver Hoxhaj there is a new “four pillars plan” on Kosovo, Serbian media reported.

“Haradinaj and Hoxhaj are showing how nervous they are and the reason for it is a fact that their intentions or aims are neither achievable nor possible. If one thinks it can achieve goals with deceptions and lies, then that one would get disappointed,” Djuric told RTS.

Chairperson of the Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun told Serbian media there is a huge gap between Serbs and Albanians and people alike Ramush Haradinaj cannot build a reconciliation.

He added, Haradinaj’s remarks on reconciliation are “cynical” and the biggest contribution (to the reconciliation) would be if he would be held responsible before the judiciary for committed crimes.

Representatives of the US embassy and NATO have intensified their efforts to bring Serbia closer to the Western military alliance.

Their goal is to establish the "Club 100," writes Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti.

According to the newspaper, university professors and public figures would enter this "Club 100" in order to openly promote a policy of abandoning Serbia's current course of neutrality.

As stated, the essence is to step up both the propaganda work, and operational activities on the field.

The rhetoric of Belgrade's representatives shows that agreement on normalization relations with Pristina is nowhere in sight, according to the Belgrade based daily Danas.

The latest message from Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic that it is "difficult for them (the West) to come up with a new proposal, because big Western powers proceed from the territorial issue of Kosovo being resolved by gaining its independence" - is Belgrade's response to the "Quint" (US, Germany, UK, France and Italy) offer "to untangle the Kosovo knot."

The Serbian Foreign and Internal Affairs Ministers met on Thursday to discuss efforts to prevent Kosovo from becoming a member of Interpol.

The Foreign Ministry said that ministers Ivica Dacic and Nebojsa Stefanovic agreed to coordinate efforts “on the issue which is of exceptional importance in the context of defending the interests of Serbia on Kosovo”.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says he was not surprised by the news of the elimination of roaming charges between Kosovo and Albania.

As Dacic told reporters at the Foreign Ministry on Thursday, "this is nothing new, but something that has been happening for a number of decades and centuries - the desire to establish a Greater Albania."

Aleksandar Vucic says he fears that Albanians have decided "not only to bring unrest and fear among Serbs, but also take some other measures."

The Serbian president said this for RTS, apparently referring to a spate of recent incidents targeting Serbs in Kosovo.

Italian Red Cross Colonel Emerico Maria Laccetti has told Vecernje Novosti that he had been diagnosed with a "giant lung tumor" upon returning from Kosovo.

According to Laccetti, the tumor was a direct consequence of exposure to ionizing radiation that he experienced there.

Depleted uranium ammunition was used by NATO during its bombing of Serbia, from March until June 1999.

According to the Belgrade-based media outlet Alo, Ambassador of Russian Federation to Serbia, Alexander Chepurin said Russia would accept the division of Kosovo and Metohija, if Serbia considers it would be the best solution, Tanjug and RTV reported.

Ambassador Chepurin made these remarks commenting Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic statement that “Albanians would agree to division of Kosovo, and that it is in their interest.”
