The EU is pushing its enlargement policy into background; the strengthening of the front toward Russia and of investors' interests will follow in the Balkans.

At the same time, Serbia is "expected to give up Kosovo," Left Party member of the German parliament Sevim Dagdelen has told Deutsche Welle.

We want to have serious dialogue with Albanians, but they must know that we also wish to preserve the interests of Serbs and Serbia in Kosovo and Metohija.

President Aleksandar Vucic said this on Monday, a day after early parliamentary elections in Kosovo.

According to preliminary results of Kosovo's Central Elections Commission, a sample of 91 per cent of processed votes, the coalition gathered around Ramush Haradinaj won 34.6 per cent of the vote in the early parliamentary elections in Kosovo.

With 35,252 votes, counted so far, the Serbian List takes the fourth place among the parties, said RTS correspondent from Kosovo.

Albanian Foreign Ministry hailed Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Kosovo as an “expression of free will in a fair and competitive process”. In a statement, the foreign ministry expressed trust that new Kosovo institutions would be formed soon “in line with the expressed will and the country’s constitution in order to address priorities, needs and challenges of development, including acceleration of the Euro-Atlantic process”.

Aleksandar Vulin says he can "go in and out of Kosovo, anywhere" without the Pristina authorities knowing about it, or being able to stop him.

The member of the Serbian government reacted in this way to a ban on his entry to Kosovo, announced by Pristina.

The statement of Prime Minister of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) Zoran Zaev that his country would opt to remain neutral regarding Kosovo’s bid to join UNESCO, has caused reaction among the Albanian community, reports Koha.

President Aleksandar Vucic met on Thursday in Belgrade with EU Commissioner for Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn, reports Belgrade based B92.

Vucic thanked Hahn for his dedication to the process of enlargement, and said several important tasks were ahead of Serbia.

Citizens’ Initiative of Gorani said that the president of the interim authorities in the municipality of Gora in Kosovo Adem Hoxha threatened Gorani in this community with losing their jobs and pensions from Serbia, if in the upcoming elections they do not vote for his political option, Blic reported yesterday.

The initiative strongly condemned threats of Hoxha and expect quick response of the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić.

Socialist Movement believes that this decision of Pristina is a shameful and calculated one, to not allow the President of Movement of Socialists Aleksandar Vulin to reside in Kosovo and so prevent him to be with the Serbs in Kosovo.

"They failed so far, they will not succeed and in the future. The Agreement on Movement of Serbian officials is most severely violated, we urge the European Union to respond and sanction the outrageous conduct of Pristina", it was said in a statement of the party, reports daily Blic.
