BELGRADE - The objective of the amendments tabled by Croatian members of the European Parliament (EP) to the progress report for Serbia is to get Serb refugees and expellees from Croatia to give up on their demands for a return of their seized flats and other property rights, says the president of the Coalition of Refugee Associations in Serbia, Miodrag Linta.

European Parliament (EP) President Martin Schulz criticised on Wednesday the newly-elected Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of splitting the common European Union (EU) stance on Russia.

Tsipras's radical left party SYRIZA won the early parliamentary elections in Greece on Sunday and established a coalition government with the right-wing Independent Greeks.

Greece's radical new government is to hold its first talks with a foreign dignitary on Jan. 29, hosting the head of the European parliament a day after announcing moves to roll back austerity measures.
