"I cannot speculate whether Florim Ejupi was involved in Oliver Ivanovic's murder, but I can say that he was selected and trained in some of CIA headquarters," Novosti daily said it got this information from a Swedish judge Christer Karphammar, who was in charge of the investigation on the bomb attack on the Nis Express bus near Podujevo, back in 2001. He added that this was known at times when Ejupi was arrested in 2001.

Ban on Serbian officials to enter Kosovo is yet another in a series of unilateral acts by which Pristina wishes to escalate the crisis created by imposing 100 percent tariffs on Serbian goods, Chairman of the Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun told RTS. He added such acts would unfortunately continue.

Srpska Lista reacting to Pristina’s decision to ban entry to all Serbian officials in Kosovo and Metohija urged “the international community not to remain deaf and blind to the Pristina’s anti-Serbian attitude,” RTS reports.

Srpska Lista added this decision “represents a continuation of the mad actions of Pristina against Serbian people,” and that “unfortunately as per rule there is no reaction by the international community and its representatives in Pristina.”

Analyst Cvjetin Milivojevic assessed today the request to return Kosovo issue to the United Nations would be the only appropriate reaction of Serbia to Pristina’s decision to ban entry to all Serbian officials, Danas daily reports.

“Only this way Serbia could react as a serious state. Any other way would indicate that Serbian officials have neither idea nor solution to the Kosovo issue,” Milojevic told BETA news agency.

Pristina can not conduct its foreign policy independently because Kosovo and Metohija are integral part of Serbia, Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said, Tanjug news agency reported. He made these remarks commenting on Pristina-Tirana joint foreign policy agreement.

“Fiasco that so-called foreign policy of Pristina faces on a daily basis, starting from retraction of recognition by 13 states to rejection of membership in Interpol and other important world organizations obviously creates strong nervousness within their ranks,” Dacic told Sputnik portal.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said the agreement on common foreign policy of Pristina and Tirana and joint embassies is not naive. She added it is scandalous that there is no reaction of the US or the EU regarding that, Tanjug news agency reported.

“It is terrible that Pristina and Tirana have signed an agreement to have a common foreign policy now. This is not naive; this is rather serious. The scandal is that we have not seen yet any official reactions either by US or the EU,” Brnabic told TV Pink.

Meeting of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic with US Congressman Eliot Engel would not have major significance in resolving the Kosovo issue, given that Engel is an active Albanian lobbyist in Washington, diplomats told Danas daily.

Danas daily interlocutors went on saying that this meeting could even be “counterproductive” for Serbia’s position in continuation of negotiations on Kosovo because Engel “strongly opposes the policy of US President Donald Trump.”
