Kosovo–Serbia relations

That's according to Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti, which adds that "the package" could be presented to Serbian officials on Wednesday, when US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Wess Mitchell will visit Pristina, and then Belgrade.

Ivica Dacic says he, bearing in mind his experience, believes that a part of the international community and Albanians from Kosovo are lying to President Vucic, B92 reports.

The First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister told RTS that the Albanians do not want compromise, but only recognition (of Kosovo). "There is no blackmail that can force Serbia to recognize an independent Kosovo," he said.

e also believes that Pristina and the international community should declare whether or not the Brussels agreement still exists.

Serbian First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic told this to Russia's Sputnik on Thursday, referring to the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo.

Dacic warned that the entire negotiation process between Belgrade and Pristina "could now return to zero."

The Serbian defence minister, Aleksandar Vulin, says Montenegro's decision to deploy two of its military officers to KFOR in Kosovo is "a political message of support for Kosovo's independence", Gazeta Express reported.

BRUSSELS - A trilateral meeting of Belgrade and Pristina delegations and EU representatives began in Brussels at around 11 am on Monday.

It was preceded by separate, bilateral discussions held by the Belgrade and Pristina delegations with EU facilitators in the dialogue.

Speaking in Berlin, Vucic said that a "difficult" road to the EU lies ahead of Serbia, that much has to be done when it comes to (accession negotiations) chapters dealing with the rule of law, but also when it comes to relations with Pristina.

"I signed the Brussels agreement. We would never have signed it if the key thing in it wasn't the ZSO. If five years have gone by since the signing, and it came to nothing, my question is, what's reaching agreements for," the foreign minister and first deputy PM said on TV Happy's talk show Cyrillic.
