The failure to create new institutions in Kosovo two months after the holding of parliamentary elections, has mined the process of dialogue for the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia.

While the Serb leadership has launched several proposals for the solution of pending issues between the two countries, Kosovo’s politicians have not issued any declarations in regards to this.

Serbia’s Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic has suggested for the solution of the Serb-Albanian conflict to come through a historical compromise.

At the meeting of the United Nations Security Council tomorrow is expected a diplomatic struggle to keep the Kosovo issue on the agenda of the world organization that corresponds to Belgrade, writes daily Politika today.

Far from signaling a new era in Serbia-Kosovo relations, Vucic’s recent call to ‘get real’ on the issue could lead to attempts to redraw borders.

While optimists may have welcomed Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s recent call for an internal debate within Serbia about Kosovo, seasoned observers fear the move will serve to tighten Vucic’s already considerable grip on power.

Russia would support the idea on delimitation with Kosovo if it becomes an official stance of Serbia, said the leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, adding he is exposed to constant attacks ever since he mentioned division of Kosovo, Serbian media reported.

“They call me a traitor, and I have not heard anyone else proposing any other solution,” Dacic said. He further went on saying that great world powers would support the proposition if it becomes an official stance of Serbia.

Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) called upon all political stakeholders to state their opinion on the EU conditions, adding the time has come to Serbia to get out from the vicious cycle of the European integration and focus on regulating its own society, freed from the Brussels tutoring, Serbian media reported.

Leader of DSS, Milos Jovanovic said it is necessary to open a discussion in Serbia about the EU.

Serbia’s president vowed to start a nationwide debate next month on unresolved relations with Kosovo and Albania, saying a “compromise” would fix most of his country’s political problems for a century and open the way to European Union membership.

Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), has requested today from the government to urgently explain the news that NATO military drill will be held in Serbia next year.

Radio Free Europe reported earlier that NATO military drill will take place in Serbia and the news was confirmed by the Ministry of Defence.

Serbia will do its utmost to prevent Kosovo's membership in Interpol, said the director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo, Marko Djuric.

"Kosovo and Metohija is now represented in Interpol through the organs of Serbia and through UNMIK. If there is a criminal who should be detained from the territory of Kosovo, that issue has already been resolved," Djuric told TV Pink.

He pointed out that "a desire to confirm sovereignty as an independent state" is behind Pristina's request for admission to that international organization.

Leader of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) Vuk Draskovic thinks that Serbia should accept and recognize Kosovo reality and calls for acceptance of the Martti Ahtisaari’s Proposal from 2007, as a base to continue the Brussels dialogue, Blic daily reported.
