The Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo told Tanjug on Thursday that an agreement had been reached with Pristina to stop its unilateral blockade of trucks.

This included the blockade of trucks carrying hazardous substances such as oil and gas from central Serbia to Serbia's southern province, the Office said. It added that the agreement was reached with EU mediation and would mean an end to "Pristina's violation of the CEFTA agreement."

Based on a project for building new settlements in north and south of Kosovo, the government of Serbia has planned to move to Kosovo over 20 thousand Serbs from Serbia.

"Any kind of removal of Kosovo from the Constitution of Serbia and undermining of the country's integrity is out of the question," says Stanislava Pak.

This adviser to Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic was reacting to a statement made previously by a law professor, Vesna Rakic Vodinelic.

The Minister of Trade and Industry, Hikmete Bajrami, has signed the decision for reciprocity measures towards Serbia, in the field of transportation of oil and gas. The decision comes after Serbia’s refusal to recognize certificates of drivers of Kosovo vehicles carrying hazardous materials.

“From today, Kosovo will not recognize the same documents issued by Serbia,” said Kosovo’s Minister for Finance, Avdullah Hoti. He stressed that Kosovo Customs started to implement the decision last night, at 24:00 hours.

Chairpersons of the Chambers of Commerce of Serbia and Kosovo, Marko Cadez and Safet Gerxhaliu, respectively, have sent a joint letter to the EU high officials and ambassadors of the Quint states in Serbia and Kosovo, in which they condemn recent incidents of Serbian trucks, transporting Serbian commodities to Kosovo, that were overturned by activists of the ‘Self-Determination’ movement.

It is not sufficient to say that Serbia will never recognize Kosovo, instead it should be shown to the world that Kosovo is Serbia, through action.

Chambers of Commerce of Serbia and Kosovo have strongly condemned last week's acts by supporters of radical Albanian movement ‘Self- Determination’, who overturned two Serbian trucks carrying commodities from Serbia to Kosovo. Chairpersons of both chambers will send a joint letter today to the EU institutions in Brussels and in Kosovo, requesting their active participation in finding solutions to this problem.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister, Branimir Stojanovic confirmed to Dnevnik that the upcoming elections for the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia will be held in Kosovo. It means that the elections will be organized in all Serbian areas in coordination and with the assistance of the OSCE and other relevant international organizations.

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic stated in Moscow that Serbia will never recognize Kosovo, even if this means not joining the EU as a consequence. “Serbia has ongoing negotiations with the EU and with Pristina and is making efforts for all in Kosovo to live in better conditions, and we have Russia’s support for this.

Serbia recognizing Kosovo "will remain the unfulfilled dream of Pristina separatists," Marko Djuric has said.

Reacting to statements by provincial officials, including the newly-elected President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, the Director of the Serbian Government's Office for Kosovo and Metohija said that "Belgrade and Serbia want to have truly good and stable relations with Pristina and all Albanians in the region."
