Government of Kosovo

The constitutional court in Pristina rejected a request from three opposition parties to review the establishment of a new special court to try former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters for war crimes.

Marko Djuric said on Monday that "peace and stability must be the priority interests of all citizens in our southern province of Kosovo."

The agreement to create a community of Serb municipalities in Kosovo "cannot be linked with the association of municipalities in southern Serbia."

The European Commission made this comment via a spokesperson on Tuesday.

Albanians residing in southern Serbia are raising the issue of their administrative autonomy along the lines of the solution offered to Serbians living in the Kosovo region. Albanians are expected to make their demands public during the constituent assembly of the Union of the Albanian Municipalities to take place Saturday.

A group of activists of the Self-Determination party forced their way into the yard of the Kosovo government in Pristina on Friday, the Kosovo police said.

Once inside, they proceeded to puncture the tires on several official vehicles, according to the police.

The Pristina government has not yet started negotiations with the Netherlands, which is expected to host a new Kosovo war crimes court, after the opposition lodged constitutional objections.

A terrorist organization is demanding that authorities in Pristina "withdraw their signature" from the agreement on the Community of Serb Municipalities.

The agreement was reached last month in Brussels during the EU-sponsored Kosovo negotiations.

Rrahim Pacolli has "mixed" up different agreements reached with Belgrade when he decided to freeze the one on insurance, says Edita Tahiri.

Speaking on Wednesday, the Kosovo minister in charge of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue explained that this agreement, reached on June 23, "has nothing to do with those on temporary license plates and freedom of movement."

Kosovo joining UNESCO would be a direct violation of international law, but also of the UN Charter and UNSC Resolution 1244, which nobody has abolished.

That is how Russian Ambassador to Serbia Aleksandar Chepurin commented on Pristina's attempts to join UNESCO.

Angela Merkel says Serbia is significantly closer to the opening first chapters in EU membership talks after the agreements reached in Kosovo dialogue.
