The property and a house of the Petrovic family located at the entry of the village Musnikovo, near Prizren, is jeopardized with unauthorized reconstruction works, Radio Kontakt Plus reported.

A road has been built just above the house and an annex object, which resulted in a huge amount of soil and rocks falling down to the premises existing on the property.

Family Petrovci left Kosovo in 1999 and currently lives in Kragujevac city (central Serbia).

EP rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister says negotiations on Serbia's EU accession EU require "constant movement towards better relations with Kosovo".
He told the Belgrade-based tabloid Kurir that "this process should gradually lead to the normalization of relations between the two sides, with both being able to exercise their rights and fulfill their responsibilities."

The upcoming local elections in Kosovo are important for Serbs. But even if we want to vote for someone other than Srpska Lista, we will be deprived of that right in front of our very eyes.

Local elections in Kosovo are to be held on October 22. Even though many Serbs believe they know what lies ahead, with the final outcome of the parliamentary elections still on our minds, we sometimes tend to forget about the upcoming elections.

For Montenegro, the issue of demarcation with Kosovo is a closed chapter, said Montenegrin Minister of Foreign Affairs, Srdjan Darmanovic, Serbian media reported.

“We have a very good relations with Kosovo and we have no doubt it would continue that way. For Montenegro, this issue (of demarcation) is closed and we will not go back to that”.

Darmanovic also said “Montenegro believes in democratic capacities of the institutions in Kosovo and would patiently wait for the final solution of demarcation with Kosovo”.

The Director for Western Europe, Western Balkans and Turkey at the European External Action Service, Angelina Eichhorst, said in a meeting with the Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, that the EU expects Kosovo to implement all visa liberalisation criteria and that it will provide support for Kosovo’s European perspective. Veseli on his part assured the EU official that new institutions are committed to fulfill the conditions enabling the people of Kosovo visa-free travel to Europe.

With the Kosovo government inadequately implementing the law on citizenship, minorities are left undocumented, the Ombudsperson Institution claims.

After a two-year endeavor, Svetlana Rakic, a Serbian citizen whose parents are from Kosovo, has finally given up on actively pursuing Kosovo citizenship.

Kosovo has signed a $49 million agreement with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) aimed at strengthening rule of law and economic development. President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci, who signed the agreement, said it marks a new page in relations between Kosovo and the U.S. “It is up to the institutions of Kosovo to begin work as of tomorrow to make this agreement a reason for celebration for thousands of people in Kosovo,” Thaci said.

Since the middle of last week, when a new wave of mass departure of Albanians was registered, the Kosovo authorities suspended the departure of buses from Pristina to Belgrade, and banned bus operators from crossing administrative line Merdare. Passengers now cross administrative checkpoints by foot, reports Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

If a bus leaves Dragaš, Prizren, or Gračanica to Belgrade, they have to stop in front of the Merdare crossing.

President Aleksandar Vučić will address the nation Tuesday this evening at 20:00 hours, reports Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

RTS learns that  President Vučić intends to speak about "broader political topics, but also the internal dialogue on resolving the Kosovo issue."

Vučić will speak from the Presidency of Serbia in Belgrade.

Membership in the EU is the most important foreign policy goal of Serbia, Serbia's PM Brnabic has told a visiting British official.

However, she added during her meeting in Belgrade with Permanent Undersecretary at the Foreign Office Simon McDonald, "it is equally important how we will implement reforms on the path to membership."
