Vucic: I expect that EU pressures Pristina

On Friday, Vucic also spoke about his expectation that the European Union will put pressure on Pristina over its blockade of the the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), adding that "Serbia has fulfilled everything from the Brussels agreement, except some small issues related to implementation of judicial agreements."

Five men who were found guilty of participating in an illegal kidney-trading ring at a Pristina clinic told an appeals court judge that they are innocent and their trial was flawed.

Pristina on Monday changed "by the back door" the Stabilization and Association Agreement it signed with the EU.

Postponement urged of UNESCO vote on Kosovo Video

Sava Janjic, the abbot of the Visoki Decani monastery, has appealed to the international community for a postponement of the decision on Pristina's UNESCO bid.

Pristina and Belgrade stepped up their lobbying campaigns for and against Kosovo’s bid to join UN cultural body UNESCO ahead of the final vote next week.

The Pozarevac Center for Culture has refused to host a performance by KLAP, a theater company from Kolasin, in northern Montenegro.

The vote on the membership of Kosovo in UNESCO may be expected at the General Conference around November 9, Ivica Dacic has said.

The Serbian foreign minister also expressed optimism that the outcome of the vote will be favorable for Serbia, stressing that the government will fight to the end against Pristina joining the organization.

If the Constitutional Court in Pristina decides that the Brussels agreement on the ZSO is contrary to the laws of Kosovo, it will not be implemented.

This was announced by Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa.

The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, BIRN, has been awarded a legal victory over the Kosovo Prime Minister's office by a court in Prishtina, following a three-year battle to gain access to government travel expense documents.

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic says Belgrade "expects Brussels to react" to Pristina's announcement of suspension of the agreement regarding the ZSO.

According to this, Pristina's authorities will suspend the agreement that concerns the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo until further notice.
