An official death certificate has been issued in Skopje stating the passing of the father of Goran Stevanovic from the village of Zabevac, near Bujanovac. In the document, this town in central Serbia not far from Kosovo and Metohija, has been placed in "the Republic of Kosovo."

"It's not enough to say I'm confused. After paying about 300 denars (Macedonian currency), I was told politely to come back in half an hour, which I did. When I took over the document, there was a surprise for me. I was confused and angry," Stevanovic told Belgrad daily Vecernje Novosti.

Montenegrin Foreign Affairs Minister, Srdjan Darmanovic said he does not know “why drama was made” in Serbia regarding decision of Montenegro to vote for Kosovo admission in Interpol.

“I do not know why such a big drama is made in Serbia over that. We voted once for Kosovo admission, we did the same this time. We belong to a group of 100 and something countries that recognized Kosovo,” Darmanovic said, adding Montenegro is a constructive partner in Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and encourages solution.

Aleksandar Vucic says it has been decided Serbia will not take any countermeasures to Pristina's increase non-tariff barriers on goods from central Serbia. The president spoke late on Wednesday, and said the decision was made at a session of the Council for National Security.

A stormy night has passed in Belgrade after Pristina decided to impose 100 percent taxes goods coming from central Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, B92 reports today.

The Council for National Security met, while before that, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic separately spoke with the ambassadors of Russia and China posted in Belgrade, and then with those from the EU and the US, and their "Quint" allies. Vucic specified that Serbia will not impose any counter-measures because, as a reliable partner, it does not wish to violate either EU's SAA or the regional free trade CEFTA deal.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said late last night, after the National Security Council session held in relation to Pristina’s decision to increase taxes on goods from the central Serbia by 100 percent, that this decision is neither civilized nor reasonable.

Vucic added Serbia would not introduce similar measures, since it wishes to remain a reliable partner. He further noted that everybody in the Government was assigned to specific tasks and would remain under full alertness.

Serbian Minister of Trade and Infrastructure, Rasim Ljajic told Prva TV, Serbia came out as a winner “of legitimate political struggle” in Interpol.

He added, Belgrade would continue to request Pristina to abolish additional taxes imposed to the goods from central Serbia.

President Aleksandar Vucic has expressed his gratitude to the President of France Emmanuel Macron for the personal letter he sent to Serbia. Vucic assessed the letter as a good announcement and a good signal before Macron's visit to Serbia.

In a statement to TV Pink, he said this was "not a circular letter" that would have gone to everyone who attended the (scandalous) ceremony in Paris (on Nov. 11) - "but about a special letter for Serbia, handed over by the president of France."

Following the voting on Kosovo Interpol bid yesterday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he understood well messages from some neighbors that Serbia is a less valuable friend to them, than Pristina, B92 reports.

Referring to Skopje and Podgorica voting in favor of Kosovo, Vucic noted that they have sent a clear message to Serbia, you are a friend of secondary importance, while Albanians are true friends.

Russian Ambassador in Belgrade Aleksander Chepurin has congratulated Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic on his "excellent work in Dubai."

Chepurin was referring to Tuesday's vote that once again left Kosovo out of Interpol membership, held in Dubai, where Stefanovic was heading the Serbian delegation.

The media published a list of countries that on Tuesday voted against Kosovo's admission to Interpol, as well as those that abstained.

Kosovo's admission to Interpol was on the agenda yesterday at the General Assembly of Interpol in Dubai, and between the two rounds of voting, a break was announced, which caused protests by the Serbian delegation.
