A group of senior officials of the German Christian Democratic Union, led by European Parliament Vice-President Reiner Wieland, visited the Visoki Decani Monastery today where they talked about the current situation in Kosovo, as well as about the monastery itself with Abbot Sava Janjic.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said on Sunday the delay of the meeting of Pristina and Belgrade officials in Paris is "someone's defeat," but least of which a Serbian defeat.

He also told TV Pink that there is not much grief in either Brussels or Washington that the meeting has been postponed.

In the most recent report of the State Department on International Religious Freedom in 2018 particular attention was paid to violations of religious and property rights of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) in Kosovo, Raska-Prizren Eparchy said in a statement posted on its web-site.

There never was nor will there ever be any trade with the Kosovo issue when Russia is concerned, Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Chepurin said adding that the UN's Resolution 1244 remains the only basis for a political solution to the Kosovo issue.

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic says that he is 99 percent sure that the Paris meeting of the Western Balkans leaders with Kosovo, planned for July 1, would not be held because the Albanians “are not ready to talk about anything important,” Serbian media reported.

Vucic adds that his impression was the Albanians wanted to send a message to the Germans and French that the Europeans should not take part in solving the Kosovo issue.

Speaking to the Belgrade based TV Pink, Vucic said:

An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Stephanie Eble, visited Pristina during June 12-18, to discuss recent economic developments and Kosovo’s economic outlook. At the conclusion of the visit, Ms. Eble made the following statement:

Belgrade based daily Blic writes today about a Russian, an excellent connoisseur of the issues of Southeast Europe, and especially of Kosovo, and an American, who is appreciated as a connoisseur of Russian affairs.

These two are new ambassadors to Belgrade - Russian and American - who will soon begin their service in Serbia. Both arrive from Moscow.

A senior official with the Serbian Internal Affairs Ministry (MUP) said on Tuesday that the Kosovo authorities have applied for membership in Interpol for a fourth time.
MUP State Secretary Biljana Popovic Ivkovic said that the re-submitted application is part of continued political pressure on the international police organization, a ministry press release said.
