Serbs from Kosovo have had a noose put around their necks and that is why the mayors of the four (northern) municipalities resigned, Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric said.

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic has sent a formal request to the CEFTA Secretariat for direct consultations within the joint committee.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Bosnia and Hercegovina Minister of Foreign Affairs Igor Crnadak welcomed the statement of USA State Secretary Mike Pompeo, who urged Pristina authorities to lift taxes of the goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, RTS reports.

Aleksandar Vucic says he has never been more worried because "surveys show that Serbian citizens support maintaining the status quo in Kosovo and Metohija."

"I see that Serbs and citizens of Serbia do not want to solve the problems in Kosovo and Metohija, and it seems to me that we do not understand what we are dealing with," the President told RTS.

Egypt is nearing to a decision to revoke recognition of Kosovo, and the final agreement on the matter could be made during the visit of the Egypt Foreign Affairs Minister to Belgrade, Vecernje Novosti daily reports today.

US State Secretary Mike Pompeo has called on Kosovo authorities to abolish the tax on goods form Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina (increased by 100 percent). Pompeo did this during his meeting in Washington on Monday with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, B92 reports.

Ivica Dacic said on Monday he would not be surprised if Pristina had indeed banned members of the Serbian government from entering Kosovo and Metohija. The first deputy PM and foreign minister stressed that this would run contrary to all agreements reached in Brussels (during EU-mediated Belgrade-Pristina negotiations).

Dacic told reporters he would not be surprised by such a decision, given that imposing a 100 percent tax on goods (from central Serbia) was proof there was no rational and reasonable policy in Pristina now - " we have moved into the sphere of political insanity."

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic spoke on Saturday with President of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia-Herzegovina Denis Zvizdic about the situation in Kosovo.

Albanians and their leaders know very well where is the line after which there is no turning back, after which they might lose even what they believe to have today, Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric told TV Most.
