Pristina

Speaking to Kosovo online about the indictment raised in the case of Oliver Ivanovic's murder, and the trial that recently commenced in Pristina, Milena Ivanovic says she is disappointed that even after two years, there are no names of those who either executed or ordered this killing.

Two years after Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic was gunned down outside his party's office in the ethnically-divided Kosovo town of Mitrovica on January 16, 2018, six people are to be tried for their alleged involvement in his killing.

Meetings between the leader of Vetvendosje Movement and the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo, Albin Kurti and the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) Isa Mustafa, ended without results in forming a new government, the Pristina-based portal "Ekonomija online" writes.

The Pristina Basic Court sentenced Syria returnee Qendresa Sfishta to a two-year suspended sentence on Thursday for participating in a terrorist organisation after she pleaded guilty to the charges.

This year brings many new challenges for Serbia and its citizens, and it also imposes on the society and the state the obligation to overcome all those which we have long been facing.
There are still challenges of an economic, political and social nature, as well as the biggest one: the challenge of resolving the issue of Kosovo and Metohija.

Nenad Arsic pleaded not guilty to committing a war crime as he went on trial on Tuesday at Pristina Basic Court.

The indictment alleges that Arsic, as a reservist member of the Serbian police, committed the crime on May 21, 1999 during a police operation against Kosovo Albanian civilians in Pristina's Emshir neighbourhood.

According to the Pristina newspaper, the main argument is that they believe that the initiative would isolate Kosovo and, if implemented, create conflicts in the Balkans.

According to Pristina based portal Lajmi.net, Rama added that he was the first to support this idea, and that everyone, especially those who need it the most, is given freedom of movement, since "mini Schengen" removes borders and encourages and facilitates free movement.

She stated this at a meeting "Road to the final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia" in Pristina, adding that "Kosovo and Serbia are not two German states", Pristina News reports.
According to her, the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina was not interrupted because of the introduction of taxes on goods from central Serbia, but because "Kosovo was in danger".

US Ambassador to Serbia Anthony Godfrey says America's goal is to encourage dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, as well as pointing out how much people in the region would benefit from finding a solution to the Kosovo problem.
