After Kosovo President Hashim Thaci said he was willing to report back to parliament on the process of the dialogue with the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, opposition parties say they are not interested in his reports as he has no right to run the process in the first place.

Kosovo opposition parties have said Hashim Thaci is the wrong person to lead the dialogue with Serbia after the Kosovo President called on all political parties, including the opposition, to attend a joint meeting aiming to establish a negotiation team.

The speaker of the Kosovo Assembly, Kadri Veseli, accompanied by a delegation of political parties' representatives, is visiting the Austrian capital Vienna on Thursday to lobby for an agreement with the EU on visa liberalisation.

Members of the Kosovo parliament will discuss the government's official platform on the dialogue with Serbia during Monday's session.

Ramush Haradinaj's government approved the platform in April, which includes a proposal for President Hashim Thaci to lead the EU-led dialogue with Serbia.

The Assembly of Kosovo on Wednesday adopted a resolution proposed by the Democratic League of Kosovo, LDK, based on which it will establish a committee to investigate the highly controversial deportation of six Turkish nationals on March 29.

The Kosovo Assembly is set to vote on the controversial agreement on border demarcation with Montenegro on Tuesday at 4pm, but a few hours before the deal is sent to MPs, it remains unclear if the ruling coalition can ensure it has 80 votes to ratify it.

According to Pristina-based media, cited by Beta agency, he told Srna agency that the Serb List has not changed its position regarding the bill.

On behalf of the Serb List, Simic stated earlier that they would not vote for the law and that the issue was not even on their agenda.

The opposition Democratic League of Kosovo, LDK and Vetevendosje parties in Kosovo have gathered 40 MPs' signatures demanding an extraordinary parliamentary session to discuss the Kosovo Accredition Agency's exclusion from the European Quality Assurance Register, EQAR, following the dismissal of its board.

The Kosovo Assembly on Wednesday again failed to proceed to a vote on the controversial border agreement with Montenegro after the government failed to stack up the necessary numbers.

The vote was postponed for "another day", which the presidency of the assembly will set in the days to come.

Taulant Osmani, a journalist who was following developments in the Kosovo parliament related to the border deal with Montenegro, was forced to leave the building by a police officer in charge of security in parliament on Thursday.
