Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Serbia Li Manchang said the Chinese government maintains its stance not to recognize Kosovo's independence.

"I know that more than 100 countries have recognized Kosovo's independence, but the Chinese government maintains its stance and does not intend to change it," said Li for Novosti.

According to him, China has a lot of understanding for Serbia's position on Kosovo, and the UNSC resolution 1244 is the base for solving this issue.

The front-page editorial of this daily stresses that signing of the agreement for the construction of permanent facilities for Integrated Border Management by the delegations from Pristina and Belgrade yesterday in Brussels, represents good news at the time of the political blockade and stagnation of the dialogue with Serbia.  After this step, Kosovo should request demarcation of the border with Serbia, immediately after the establishment of the new institutions and start of the new discussions with Serbia.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric expects the European Union to give a positive assessment of all Belgrade has done in the dialogue with Pristina so far.

PRISTINA - The Serbian Prosecutor's Office for War Crimes is in contact with Kosovo's Special Prosecution Office over Yusuf Sonmez, a Turkish doctor suspected of having conducted illegal human organ transplantations, Eulex has confirmed.

Eulex can confirm that the Serbian Prosecutor's Office for War Crimes is in contact with the Special Prosecution Office in connection with a Kosovo fugitive from justice who has been allegedly located in a European metropolis, Miguel Carvalho de Faria, the head of the Eulex Press and Public Information Office, told Tanjug late Wednesday.

Milaim Shefkiu, starts his editorial with an old saying “wolf changes its hair but not the habits,” and adds that Belgrade and its politicians have not changed. According to Shefkiu, the recent statement of “Milosevic’s student” Ivica Dacic, that they will not sign any treaty with Kosovo could be interpreted in two ways: the first one proves that even though Dacic signed the agreement of 10 April 2013, which was considered historical, the intention was only for Serbia to gain the status of the EU candidate and to victimize Serbs in the north.

Textbooks from Serbia, which were stopped a few days ago from entering Kosovo at Jarinje border point, are already in Kosovo.

The news was confirmed for KosovaPress by representatives of Kosovo Customs. Officials from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, stressed that the books are already being distributed to the respective schools. They also stressed that this is allowed based on Ahtisaari’s Plan and agreements reached in Brussels, despite the fact that the books are not in accordance with the curriculum of Kosovo.

Minister without portfolio responsible for European integration Jadranka Joksimovic said today that the outcome of the Brussels Dialogue "will not be a peace agreement" between Serbia and Kosovo.

Joksimovic assessed the statement of outgoing Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci as a prelude to the start of the second phase of the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia and more for the internal public.

NEW YORK - On the International Day of the Disappeared, August 30, Amnesty International urges authorities in Serbia and Kosovo to carry out prompt, independent, effective and impartial investigations against those suspected of enforced disappearances and abductions committed before, during and after the international armed conflict in Kosovo in 1999.
