The construction of "a new, more solid" concrete supporting structure instead of a supporting wall that was removed on Sunday will start on Tuesday.

This is what Kosovska Mitrovica Mayor Goran Rakic told Serbia's state broadcaster RTS on Monday.

Opposition New Party member and former Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Zivkovic told BIRN that prosecutors should launch an investigation into health minister Zlatibor Loncar over his alleged connections with the notorious Zemun Clan, whose members were found guilty of murdering Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in 2003.

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic says Serbia is not abandoning its policy of military neutrality, while the country's strength lies in "not changing its policy."

"I'm not one of those who when he goes to Moscow says one thing, but then another in Washington," he told state broadcaster RTS late on Thursday, adding:

A Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs state secretary says he expects the new U.S. administration to have "a different stance" on Kosovo's admission to UNESCO.

Kosovo is to get its own international dialing code after reaching a telecoms deal with Serbia, officials said on Sunday.

According to a Kosovo government statement, the Minister for Dialogue Edita Tahiri said the ITU would allocate the new code to Kosovo on December 15.

U.S. Ambassador in Belgrade Kyle Scott says he "doesn't know how to respond" to Serbian cabinet minister Aleksandar Vulin.

Vulin previously told the state broadcaster RTS that "the problems in connection with the possible plans to assassinate PM Vucic started back in the election night (in April) when Scott spoke with opposition representatives."

Swiss voters approved a new surveillance law on Sept. 25, in a victory for the government which argued the security services needed enhanced powers in an increasingly volatile world. 

Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said that it is incredible that the EU was funding media outlets in the region that he says publish lies.

"I think that it is impossible that the EU is funding some media outlets, institutions that are distributing lies, such as the story on Tamnava [mine], which was published by BIRN," he told Serbia's public broadcaster RTS on Thursday.

Serbian Assembly President Maja Gojkovic, who was reelected on Monday, says she will treat all parliamentary groups equally.

BELGRADE - "A solution will soon be found for Serbian passports in Kosovo-Metohija (KiM)," Director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric said on Saturday, underscoring that Belgrade would not leave Serbs without valid documents of the Republic of Serbia with which they could travel to EU countries.
