Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija

With no legal framework in place to regulate crypto mining in Kosovo, many of those involved in mining the currency say they are confused as to their options. Given crypto mining is not strictly illegal, their equipment cannot be confiscated providing it has been properly imported.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Army, General Milan Mojsilovic, said that he did not rule out new unilateral actions of the Kosovo Security Forces in the north of Kosovo and Metohija.
However, as he said, the Armed Forces will react to such actions.

Kosovo entered the new year burdened with most of the problems it had entering 2021 - the stalled dialogue with Serbia, the visa issue with the EU and the disputed Association of Serb-majority Municipalities.

Valon Kurtaj, head of the judging panel in the trial of defendants accused of involvement in the 2018 assassination of Kosovo Serb political party leader Oliver Ivanovic, told Pristina Basic Court on Tuesday that the court is facing a series of difficulties in contacting witnesses who live in Serb-majority parts of Kosovo and in Serbia itself.

From the post-war period in 2000 until Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008, Kosovo was run by the UN's interim administration, UNMIK, which together with domestic political leaders attempted to create institutions that would be able to implement a newly-established legal framework for the country.

Abrashi said that the demands for the formation of the CSM at this time from Belgrade have been strengthened due to the elections in Serbia next year.

The US Treasury Office's of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC, said on Wednesday that it has imposed sanctions on a controversial Serbian businessmen from Kosovo, Zvonko Veselinovic, for being "one of Kosovo's most notorious corrupt figures".

The OFAC marked Veselinovic as an "organized crime group leader".

"The final agreement should be centred on mutual recognition," Bislimi, who is Prime Minister Albin Kurti's person in charge of the dialogue, added.

'Nothing is happening'

This was announced by the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of Serbia.
The statement points out that this is a "deliberate, dangerous provocation aimed at provoking an unbalanced reaction of the Serbian people in the north of the province, who suffered severely at the hands of KLA terrorists."

Kosovo's government is determined to appoint a new board of directors at Radio Television Kosovo, but fresh faces alone won't be enough to fix the troubled public broadcaster.
