Director of the Office for EU Integration Ksenija Milenkovic voiced expectation on Tuesday that Chapters 35 and 32, relating to Kosovo and financial control, will be opened as part of Serbia's EU membership talks by the end of this year.

When many important meetings are organized in a short period, such was the case with the US and Serbia, then it means that great importance is attached to our country, Dragan Simic Dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences told RTS.

Creation of the association/community of Albanian municipalities (A/CAM) in south Serbia has been announced for Saturday as a response on the creation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities in Kosovo.

Pristina said that it will lobby for the entry to the OSCE with the help of US and Albania, but it was in vain because the consensus of 57 member states is required for the entry into the organization.

Although on paper membership in the United Nations is not a precondition for admission, it is an unwritten rule, because all current members of the OSCE have a seat in the UN.
