After several weeks of resistance, the government of Aljbin Kurti nevertheless announces that it will send some kind of draft statute of the Association of Serbian Municipalities to the Constitutional Court. Is that enough for Kosovo to be admitted to the Council of Europe?
Kosovo police seize social aid from Serbia, ministers with cameras go and close Serbian institutions... Due to Pristina's move, the West is also raising its voice. At the same time, the only solution for payment transactions is the Association of Serbian Municipalities
"It is true that the version of the draft statute of the ZSO with a Serbian majority was submitted to Kosovo, and I think that it was not the best step that the EU took," said the president of the Kosovo Assembly, Gljauk Konjufca.
The new European proposal for the establishment of the Community of Municipalities with a Serbian majority is balanced and the EU insists that it be implemented, says spokesman Peter Stano.
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, explained during her visit to Belgrade that the de facto recognition of Kosovo's independence actually means the implementation of the agreement agreed in Ohrid. She emphasized that enlargement is at the top of the EU agenda and that there is a desire for Serbia to join
The European Council calls on Kosovo and Serbia to implement them, without delay or preconditions. This includes the establishment of the Community of Municipalities with a Serbian majority. The normalization of relations is an essential condition on the European path of both parties
The topic of several hours of separate meetings was the plan for the formation of the Union of Serbian Municipalities, but according to the statute created by the European Union
Geoffrey Hovenier stated that the Serbian community in Kosovo is "an essential, essential, integral part of Kosovo", and that the Union of Serbian Municipalities (USO) will be in accordance with the Kosovo Constitution and will not have executive powers.
Last night, in an interview with CNN, the President of Kosovo accused Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić of "directly ordering" the attack on the north of Kosovo. On that occasion, she called for the introduction of "harsh sanctions" against Belgrade, so that Serbia would not be encouraged to use violence, not only against Kosovo, but also against other countries in the region.
Due to the involvement of Milan Radoičić in the organization of a "terrorist and criminal" group, the President of Kosovo announced that "institutional decisions" will be made against the Serbian List "soon"
The US Ambassador in Pristina believes that the Association of Serbian Municipalities should be in accordance with the Kosovo Constitution, but also that the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Aljbin Kurti, must enable its formation. If he doesn't "there will be consequences"
The Prime Minister of Kosovo stated that the authorities in Belgrade are doing everything to prevent Serbs in the north from integrating, which is why he needs the help of the international community, especially the European Union.
"It is unusual for the corona to change so significantly and develop 30 new mutations. The last time we saw such a big change was when the omicron appeared," say researchers from the Danish Serum Institute.
The European Union has imposed measures on Kosovo because it is not doing anything to calm the situation in the north. In the meantime, he is closely monitoring whether Serbia fulfills the official requirements
The community of Serbian municipalities, with its disconnected territory, would resemble Gagauzia, an autonomous territorial unit in Moldova
The text of the declaration was announced at a meeting in the northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica
According to the analysis of the Institute for Politics and Economy of Southeast Europe - none. Maybe it would be to some extent Gagouzia and much more - Northern Cyprus, which is not bad to know before Vidovdan when, according to the media, it is expected that the Serbs will independently form the ZSO
"The draft is not for public publication. It is only a contribution, but what I can say is that whoever really wants a solution is ready to take it and implement it," said the Albanian Prime Minister
Extraordinary elections in Kosovo would calm tensions in the north, and Kosovo's Prime Minister Aljbin Kurti would be sent to the opposition, according to analyst Dušan Janjić.
The agenda for May 2 will include the formal adoption of the declaration for the missing, as well as the presentation of the first draft of the Statute of the Association/Community of Municipalities with a Serbian majority in Kosovo. In addition, other "urgent current issues" will be discussed.
The EU and US envoys are preparing the ground for the president of Serbia and the prime minister of Kosovo to push their countries into a common future, Aleksandar Vučić swears that he does not negotiate with another country and that there is nothing to do with his consent for Kosovo's admission to the UN, the patriotic bloc calls for a protest for betrayal Kosovo, the SNS plasters Serbia with the inscriptions "Miloš Francuz" and "Milica the liar", and the rest of the opposition mostly does not know what to do with all that.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo says that the implementation of the Community of Serbian Municipalities with the competences defined by the Brussels Agreement is unacceptable because it would mean the revival of "another Republika Srpska". Pristina sees the ZSO as an "association" that would take care of cultural and identity issues of Serbs, without any executive duties. Belgrade, as well as the Western community, however, continue to insist on the formation of the ZSO according to the original idea, without which, it is believed, there can be no progress in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina
After the negotiations between Aleksandar Vucic and Aljbin Kurti failed on Monday, today in Brussels the negotiators from Belgrade and Pristina should continue where their bosses left off. The most urgent is the agreement on license plates. Since the Europeans proved powerless to solve the problem, the Americans joined the game
MP and vice-president of the People's Party, Sanda Rašković Ivić, said that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is "preparing for capitulation" in Kosovo and Metohija instead of demanding the return of Serbian institutions to the north of the province because the Brussels Agreement is "dead".
The EU and the US are putting pressure on the President of Serbia and the Prime Minister of Kosovo to agree on the re-registration of license plates, the return of Serbs to Kosovo institutions and the formation of the Union of Serbian Municipalities. Both of them traveled to Brussels without high expectations that an agreement would be reached
The European Union is putting pressure on Belgrade and Pristina to find a solution to overcome the current crisis by November 21, when the Kosovo police should start fining all drivers who have not re-registered their vehicles with RKS plates with 150 euros. The Serbs in Kosovo declared that they would not comply
It started with sowing fear, continued with special programs, and ended with a standard address to the people about whom we learned little. This is how the three "most difficult days" passed, as the media close to the regime labeled them, quoting top state officials
