Albin Kurti

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija Milovan Drecun said on Thursday an initiative to open a Kosovska Mitrovica bridge on the Ibar River to traffic was a part of preparations to occupy the north of Kosovo.

In an appearance on Pink TV, Drecun said the occupation was being planned by Pristina's PM Albin Kurti.

The President of the Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, assessed that the initiative to open the bridge on the Ibar is part of the preparations for occupying the north of Kosovo.
This is the plan of the Prime Minister of the temporary institutions of Pristina, Albin Kurti.

BELGRADE - Former North Mitrovica Mayor Milan Radojevic said on Monday the situation in the north of Kosovo-Metohija was extremely difficult and that this had especially been the case since local Serbs left Pristina's institutions last November, and noted that no one in the international community was concerned about when Pristina's PM Albin Kurti would stop a repression against the Serbs.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said on Friday the responsibility to stop Pristina's PM Albin Kurti from causing war and conflicts and making provocations was now upon the international community.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said on Friday Pristina's PM Albin Kurti wanted to openly provoke war and expel Serbs from Kosovo-Metohija and that an occupation by Kurti and Erden Atic, the so-called mayor of the north of Kosovska Mitrovica, had begun.

As he stated, President of Serbia warned him of all the consequences of Kurti's behavior and provocations, which can lead to the biggest crisis that calls for war.

As he said, it was thanks to the Serbian List that peace was preserved today, because they tried in every way to keep the people who were rightfully outraged, because the Serbs were denied all possible rights.

The Kosovo-Serbia dialogue remains one of the main issues of concern in the Western Balkans, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Thursday heard.

State Department Counsellor Derek Chollet warned: "We are not seeing great effort on the implementation of this agreement by either party."

He said that the new round of dialogue with chief negotiators Petar Petkovi and Besnik Bislimi was focused on the implementation of the agreements reached.
"We discussed the way forward of implementation of the Agreement from February 27 and aimed to clarify open issues. Discussions will continue," Lajcak wrote on Twitter.

BRUSSELS - Speaking to reporters after Monday's round of the Brussels dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said the dialogue was in a difficult state and that Pristina's chief negotiator Besnik Bislimi had acted in a scandalous way.
