Belgrade and Pristina technical teams headed by Marko Djuric and Avni Arifi, divided into working groups disused yesterday in Brussels implementation of the agreement on integrated border management, Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti reported.

Marko Jaksic, member of the Serb “Fatherland” Movement from Kosovo told Danas daily Serbs from Kosovo do not know what a plan for Kosovo would contain, but they can sense what it could take from secret visits of the Serbian President to Paris and meeting with Hashim Thaci, as well as from his current stay in New York.

Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Deputy Director, Dusan Kozarev told Tanjug news agency nothing would change in land and mobile telephony for Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, adding that Pristina’s claims on cancellation of +381 dialling code are untrue.

“As usual, Pristina intentionally attempts to create confusion and uneasiness among the Serb population in the province by voicing wrong interpretation of the agreement on telecommunication,” Kozarev said.

Serbian Government adopted on 22 February, a Regulation on the Exercise of Special Rights of Former Workers of the Serbian Interior Ministry in Kosovo and Metohija, thus meeting the demands of 1200 workers, Serbian media reported.

Representative of (former) police service for Mitrovica, Rajko Šekularac, said yesterday at a press conference, the most important change is that the new regulation prescribe pensions are no longer temporary as it used to be, but belong to the category of special pensions.

Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic would meet tomorrow with the UN SG Antonio Guterres in New York, Blic daily unofficially learns.

“Vucic have met already with people from the UN and USA administration, from whom he requested support in resolving the Kosovo issue. The meeting with Guterres is planned for Wednesday,” source from diplomatic cycles told Blic daily.

According to Blic, Vucic’s visit to New York is a continuation of a diplomatic offensive that is already ongoing.

Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Đurić pointed out that in relations between Belgrade and Pristina, a permanent and sustainable solution is needed for the stability of this part of Europe.

In an interview for Vienna based “Der Standard” Marko Đurić also said that if a referendum takes place, it will not be regarding a question on Kosovo’s independence. He recalled that an internal dialogue on Kosovo has already been launched in Serbia, involving hundreds of experts from all fields.

“White House is in organizational chaos, therefore one should not expect there would be any new proposals or initiative in Washington when it comes to the Balkan issues, including the Kosovo issue,” Gregory Raymond, International Relations Professor from Boise University told Danas daily.

According to Raymond it never occurred in a modern American history to have more unfilled places in the government, including ambassadors in states where USA presence is needed, nor have so many people left their positions, either due to corruption or frustration.

Leader of the opposition Movement of Free Citizens (PSG), Sasa Jankovic told Serbian media it is an illusion (to believe) Kosovo issue can be resolved with a signature of one man, if that signature is not a result of a democratic process and does not contribute to the sense of relief among people.

Serbia should not agree with the formation of the Kosovo army even at the cost of EU integration, said former US ambassador to Serbia William Montgomery.

“Enough is enough”, Montgomery answered when asked by Tanjug how he sees messages delivered to Belgrade by US State Department official Wess Mitchel, including the open support of the US to the Kosovo Army.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli has complained about Ivica Dacic during a recent informal meeting of "the Western Balkans 6" held in Sarajevo.

According to Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, Pacolli said that Serbian foreign minister was "always tripping him up."

"People from Kosovo are young, and cannot travel freely. Serbia makes problems every day. I travel and fight to get recognitions of Kosovo - and Ivica brings them down," Pacolli reportedly told his colleagues as Dacic left the room during a working lunch.
