Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia takes the side of Spain, and that despite important differences in declarations of independence of Catalonia and Kosovo, Serbia has to face reality and look into future, FoNet news agency reported.

Vucic also said Kosovo is twice worse case than Catalonia.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Friday evening that Catalonia's unilateral declaration of independence had no legal effect, as far as Serbia was concerned, B92 reported.

"Serbia supports Spain's territorial integrity, and that act is not in line with the Spanish constitutional system," Dacic said.

Authorities in Belgrade have sent a note of protest to Kosovo institutions after the latter imposed a tax on flour imported from Serbia.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said that Kosovo is a province of Serbia and that the Serbian government acted in accordance with it and approved the swearing-in of the Serbian judges and prosecutors before President Hashim Thaci, and that it implemented the Brussels agreement, Belgrade daily Danas writes.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has said that EU officials should not "abuse" the pro-European orientation of citizens of Kosovo.

Beta reported him as saying that this pro-European orientation has been abused by individuals in the EU in order to humiliate Kosovo or delay its European perspective.

"Kosovo needs to move quickly towards a concrete European perspective, not a process that can last five, ten or 20 years," Thaci has told the Klan Kosova broadcaster.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has rejected the assessment of US diplomat Brian Hoyt Yee that Serbia was "sitting on two chairs."

Serbia is interested only in its own interests, Dacic said on Thursday.

Dacic told reporters in Belgrade that Serbia will continue to work in accordance with its state and national interests, "regardless of what they are saying, from the sidelines."

Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Director, Marko Djuric met with the Head of UNMIK, Zahir Tanin today and spoke about current political and security situation in Kosovo and the forthcoming UN Security Council session on Kosovo, Serbian media reported.

On this occasion, Djuric expressed the stance of Serbia that UN Security Council should continue discussions on Kosovo every three months.

The international presence in Kosovo is important for the implementation of the agreements reached within the framework of the Brussels Dialogue, said Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic at a meeting with UNMIK Head Zahir Tanin, reports RTS.

WASHINGTON – As Hoyt Brian Yee, the deputy assistant secretary of State stated yesterday that Serbia “cannot sit on two chairs at the same time,” referring to Serbia’s relations with Russia and the EU, the statement provoked many reaction.

Daniel Serwer, the director of the Conflict Management Program at the Johns Hopkins School of International Studies in Washington DC and former diplomat stated in his Op-ed that he agrees with the Yee’s claim, although he is more interested in the other question.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister, Ivica Dacic spoke in Palermo with his Italian counterpart about attempts to change the format of the UN Security Council sessions on Kosovo, Tanjug news agency reported.

Ivica Dacic and Angelino Alfano spoke on the margins of the OSCE Mediterranean Conference on the relations between the two countries and international organizations, in particular about the UN Security Council, which will be chaired by Italy next month.
