Ahead of the Russian President Vladimir Putin visit to Belgrade, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic "has received several tasks from the Russian intelligence service." This is according to Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK).

Vucic was allegedly given several tasks: the first "not to reach an agreement with Kosovo under any circumstances," and another "to stop protests in Belgrade allegedly funded by NATO and arrest some of the leaders of the opposition."

On Easter Day, Serbs from the region proposed abolition of borders between Serbia, the Republic of Srpska and Montenegro in talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

The proposal is in line with the idea of EU integration, consider connoisseurs of international law. However, it is unlikely that the same proposal would be acceptable to Sarajevo, as well as the authorities and the opposition in Podgorica.

Leader of Serb Renewal Movement (SPO) Vuk Draskovic told Danas daily that most people in Serbia do not know that NATO would be the one to resolve all disagreements and potential conflicts in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia or anywhere else in the Balkans.

Speaking about the frozen conflict in Kosovo, Draskovic said “it is like a sparkle in an ash” and “the flame can erupt at any moment.” Draskovic added in this case Serbia would find itself in a position it was two decades ago, however the extent of the disaster would be much greater now.

Oliver Ivanovic’s wife, Milena Popovic called on the Kosovo Special Prosecutor, Syle Hoxha to come to Belgrade with his “entire team“ and together with the Serbian investigative authorities to “question her for the fourth time,” KoSSev portal reports.

Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) urged today parties in power and opposition to launch a dialogue aiming to reach a societal consensus on the most important state issues, Tanjug news agency reported.

DSS noted the state cannot successfully defend its interests, in the atmosphere of division, hatred and lack of tolerance.

DSS thinks the best way to strengthen the state by initiating the dialogue would be organization of a series of thematic round tables between the authorities and opposition, without the presence of the media.

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Thursday that the issue of Kosovo must not be left as a frozen conflict as it affects Serbia's progress. But she also pointed to the pampering approach of the international community and the EU towards Pristina.

In a broadcast on Happy TV, Brnabic underlined that people must understand a frozen conflict is a frozen instability. We will not be able to use all of our potential and all the healthy basis we have and go as fast as we can if we have a frozen conflict.

European Commissioner for Enlargement Negotiations and Neighborhood Policy, Johannes Hahn said he hopes a response from Kosovo related to the taxes would arrive these days, RTS reports.

Commissioner Hahn repeated to the journalists in Brussels his offer to negotiate on economic barriers in a special format, stressing that the solution for the taxes must be found.

Regional broadcaster N1 reports that “Patriotic forces” supported by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) are planning to bring more than 70,000 people to the plateau in front of the St Sava Temple in Belgrade to greet Russian President Vladimir Putin on January 17, quoting Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic leads a devastating Kosovo policy and spreads defeatism which is devastating for the Serb people in Kosovo and aims to prepare a "Serbian recognition of an independent Kosovo," reads the statement of Launchers of the Appeal for the Defense of Kosovo and Metohija, quotes Belgrade based daily Danas.

A frozen conflict over Kosovo could melt and bring disaster, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic warned in an interview to Financial Times, TV N1 reports.

“Those who think it is possible to maintain a frozen conflict — it is never frozen because at some moment it melts,” Vucic told the FT. “And when that happens it is a catastrophe for everyone,” he said adding that only a deal with Kosovo would bring lasting change to the region.
