The Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, General Milan Mojsilovi, addresses the nation today at 4:00 p.m. regarding the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, "Novosti" has learned.

The former chief negotiator of the so-called Kosovo in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Edita Tahiri characterized the draft of the CSM proposed by the Prime Minister of Albania as biased.
According to her, Edi Rama lost his credibility on the so-called Kosovo because he supports Serbia and is close to the President of Serbia, writes the Pristina press Kosovo online.

PARIS - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic said on Thursday the so-called Kosovo was unlikely to get support for joining UNESCO.

Speaking to reporters in Paris after a meeting with UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, Dacic said he had asked the organisation to devote special attention to the Serbian cultural heritage in Kosovo-Metohija.

BELGRADE - Despite the announced celebrations in Pristina, it is undeniable that the self-declared Kosovo remains a provisorium in terms of international law, the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said on Friday.

After 25 hours of the session on Kosovo and Metohija - Report on the negotiation process with Pristina was adopted.
The session lasted more than 14 hours and the Report on the negotiation process with Pristina was adopted with 148 votes in favor, 57 against, 2 abstained (out of 207 MPs).

As the agreement between Kosovo and Serbia on crossing borders using only IDs comes into force tonight, a big disclaimer written in English and Serbian on the Serbian side of the frontier reminds the public of Serbia's continued non-recognition of Kosovo's independence.

The Kosovo government has allocated €40 million to cover unpaid electricity in the four Serb-dominated municipalities in the north. The funds will be allocated to the Kosovo Energy Distribution and Supply Company, KOSTT.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic condemned the Kosovo government's latest decision about licence plates for Serbs living in northern Kosovo, claiming its goal is "to expel Serbs, especially from the north of Kosovo and Metohija". He said Kosovo's goal was "to make a new Storm", referencing the Croatian army operation in 1995, codenamed Storm, that forced most Serbs to flee Croatia.

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Nikola Selakovi, who added that these efforts, on the contrary, threaten to destabilize the political and security situation in our region.
