Dveri Movement welcomed stance of the Serbian Orthodox Church on Kosovo that preservation of Kosovo and Metohija as an integral part of Serbia is the most important national topic for all, RTS reported.

“We believe that anyone who would turn a deaf ear to the Holly Assembly message on Kosovo, would not only turn a deaf ear to the Serbian Orthodox Church, but would by renouncing Kosovo and Metohija for the sake of Serbia’s path to the EU, literally annul himself from the Serbian history,” Dveri Movement press statement said.

Serbia would seriously investigate the consequences of NATO bombardment using depleted uranium, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Tanjug news agency.

It would be a great success if Serbia and Kosovo came to a compromise, because Kosovo is "within the reach of realizing its independence," says Ivica Dacic.

The foreign minister reiterated that Serbia will never recognize Kosovo but wants a compromise solution.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic told TV Pink, that Kosovo issue is the most important topic and government reconstruction can wait.

She added the reconstruction of the government was a topic some time ago, however serious things occurred in Kosovo and Metohija, thus it became “obvious that our unity is a priority and support to the President Vucic to find a solution in normalization of relations with Pristina. That is why reconstruction became of secondary importance,” Brnabic stated.
