Bakir Izetbegovic, president of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), told Voice of America that he believes that in case Serbia recognizes Kosovo's independence, all radars will turn to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Izetbegovic commented on the possible outcome of Belgrade-Pristina relations, but also the relationship between BiH and Kosovo, and sees the only link between Kosovo and BiH in that "the same side that has done the violence against Albanians on Kosovo, and in BiH against the Bosniaks ".

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met today with Head of European Delegation in Serbia, Sem Fabrizi and conveyed him expectation that the EU would invest additional efforts in order to influence Pristina to revoke unilateral actions that bring peace and stability in the region into jeopardy, RTS reports.

“There is a need for lasting agreement. We are ready to continue talks with Pristina, when tariffs are revoked,” President Vucic said. He added that Belgrade is ready to find a compromise solution, and there is no alternative to the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic received on Tuesday Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister of Venezuela Yvan Gil.

Dacic told Gil that Serbia’s and Venezuela’s relations are characterized by a long friendship, reflected in mutual support on the international plan, expressing appreciation for the country's principled position (non-recognition) on Kosovo and Metohija, as well as voting against the so-called Kosovo in Interpol and UNESCO.

“Kosovo is a state that has brought its independence, territorial integrity and Constitution into question,” Pristina-based publicist Veton Surroi has said, according to the Serbian media. He made these remarks on the occasion of the 11^th anniversary of Kosovo declaration of independence.

Leader of Peoples’ Party and Chair of Alliance for Serbia (SZS) Vuk Jeremic assessed yesterday that delineation, which, according to the Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic represents an official Belgrade’s position in negotiations with Pristina, is “a fig leaf” for Kosovo recognition, BETA news agency reported.

Jeremic also underlined “how something that National Assembly is not informed about, let even decided about it, can become a state policy?”

People's Party Vice President Sanda Raskovic Ivic says that "delineation" with Kosovo Albanians is unconstitutional and that, if that happens, the leaders of the current regime will be responsible when the authority change and that the division of Kosovo leads to the exodus of Serbs living south of the Ibar River.

Serbian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Rasim Ljajic says to Radio Television of Serbia that throughout Kosovo there are Serbian goods, which arrive there through alternative roads, reported Belgrade based daily Danas.

Ljajic recalled that Serbian officials promptly warned of the development of the black market immediately after the introduction of a tax.

Kosovo PM Ramush Haradinaj says that Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic's proposal is "unacceptable and unreasonable." Dacic spoke yesterday about delimitation "between Kosovo and Serbia on ethnic basis."

Haradinaj stressed that "such a thing has not been realized anywhere, ever."

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said it is realistic for Serbia to join the European Union by 2025, adding that Pristina would have to abolish the tariffs on the goods from central Serbia sooner or later, which is a precondition that both sides return to the negotiation table, RTV Puls reports.

“I absolutely think that the introduction of mentioned punitive tariffs is a bad thing. I think they will be revoked, and this is not my personal opinion, but also the opinion of the EU and other states that it has to be done sooner or later,” Schroeder told Blic daily.

In the past twenty years, Serbia has paid about 700 million euros of Kosovo's debt and will continue to do so, Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Tuesday. Kosovo Albanians 11 years ago unilaterally declared independence of this Serbian province - but Serbia considers the move a violation of its Constitution and territorial integrity and sovereignty.

"When debt needs to be paid off, then they are a part of Serbia. When there's property to be grabbed, then they are an independent state," Dacic told reporters in Belgrade, referring to the behavior of the Kosovo Albanians.
