Kosovo Serbs

This will not happen because the US, which this month presides over this body of the world organization, did not include the report of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in the agenda, writes daily Vecernje Novosti.

Leaders of Serbian Orthodox congregations and Serbian-American organisations have appealed to Congress members and the US administration to protect the rights of Kosovo Serbs and expressed "strong opposition to the proposed ethnic partition of the territory", Serbian media reported on Monday.

At the suggestion of Serb List parliamentary group, the councillors decided to rename Nemanjina street, where the Kosovska Mitrovica municipality building was located, to Olivera Ivanovica street.

After the assassination of Ivanovic, his party colleagues and sympathizers started a petition asking that a street in the town be named after him.

The assembly in the northern Serb-run side of the Kosovo town of Mitrovica has named a street after the murdered politician Oliver Ivanovic – angering Ivanovic’s party, which said it had another street in mind.

At journalists' request in the city of Decani to comment the possible partition of Kosovo, Foggo said that as a military officer of NATO he couldn't be present in the meetings between the Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo president Hashim Thaci and he didn't know what the plan entailed.

"This is about whether we get something or lose everything," Dacic told RTS. He added that they could refuse that chance but that "we shouldn't play dumb now, because nobody is proposing that Kosovo stays within the borders of Serbia."

He said the dialogue is yet to continue and the possible solutions are yet to be proposed

Dacic felt Serbian citizens in Montenegro were suffering torture and discrimination at the hands of the official government, said New Serb Democracy party (NOVA) from Montenegro after meeting with Dacic in Belgrade.

Kosovo is likely to be a hot issue at the upcoming Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which has taken a lead position in attacking talk of Kosovo's partition, or of recognising its independence, Church experts say.

Serbian clerics from 20 monasteries in Kosovo have said in an appeal that calls for the partition of Kosovo would put the country's Serbian community in danger, adding that Kosovo remains an "inalienable part of Serbia".

They plead with Vucic "not to give up the fight for a just, compromise and sustainable solution for KiM (Kosovo and Metohija)" with a message that abandoning this fight would represent "the greatest historical defeat of the Serb people in recent history" and at the same time "the greatest victory of the enemies of the Serb people and their domestic cowards."
