Bujanovac mayor Shaip Kamberi said on Wednesday that the Presevo valley in southern Serbia should either be annexed to Kosovo or get the same status as the Serbs in the north, FoNet news agency reported.

Kamberi added Pristina would have huge support if it chose to adjust the borders to include that part of southern Serbia where Albanian population live. “If Kosovo chooses that path it has great support to annex the Presevo valley and if not, we should get reciprocity with the north,” he told Kosovo public broadcaster RTK.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he wishes that Pristina revokes the tariffs and to continue talks, Tanjug news agency reported. Vucic added, while there are no talks between Belgrade and Pristina, there is a danger of violence against the Serbian population.

Commenting on the possibility that Ramush Haradinaj cancels decision on tariffs, Vucic told TV Pink that Haradinaj is thinking about that for a long time.

On the other side, analyst Dragomir Andjelkovic does not think Serbia is on the verge of an early elections, however it may get there soon. He also noted opposition is now striving to get better starting positions.

Deadline to reach an agreement on Kosovo has been extended by the end of this year, Belgrade-based daily Danas writes referring to its diplomatic sources. The daily added at the moment the US is mainly focused on Venezuela, while the EU is dealing with forthcoming elections for the European Parliament.

At a time when neither the UN nor the EU have a unified stance on the Venezuelan crisis, the least we can do is not to change our position towards that country. Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said this.

"Our own negative experience from recent past obligates us not to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states," he told Vecernje Novosti, and added: "(Opposition politician) Canak certainly does not understand that, because he at the time went to Catalonia to support a referendum on secession from Spain, which is also our friend."
