The president of the parliamentary committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, said before the session of the Assembly of Serbia on Kosovo and Metohija that there is no room for other proposals for the ZSO because the Brussels Agreement precisely defined what needs to be done to form the Community.

“The first six-point Brussels agreement defines that there will be an association of municipalities in which Serbs form the majority in Kosovo. A community in which Serbs form the majority of the population, which means that there are also people of other nationalities. Membership will be open to any other municipality, if the members agree to that. Then it is defined that the two parties will form a management team for the formation of the Community and that it will be made up of representatives of the four municipalities in the north of the Republic of Kosovo and that they will draft the statute, which they drafted,” said Drecun.

There is no continuation of the dialogue and the return of Serbs to the institutions of Pristina until the ZSO is formed, and then there is a discussion about the European proposal, Drecun told RTS.

“This is an attempt at a political maneuver to adjust the appearance of the ZSO to Pristina’s view, although Kurti says that for him the Brussels Agreements do not exist and that the ZSO will not be formed and that only minority rights should be discussed. He avoids using the terms used in the Brussels Agreement.” , noted Drecun.

He said that he considers the proposal of the statute made by the German non-governmental organization “Friedrich Ebert” to be an attempt by German politics to cheat the Brussels Agreement when it comes to the ZSO.

As he pointed out, the author’s text American diplomats Derek Scholl and Gabriel Escobar is correct and “it is an interesting view that the ZSO is in accordance with the constitution and that they see no reason why it should not be formed”.

“The community would be an institutional mechanism, which Pristina would recognize, with the aim of protecting the Serbian people, ensuring their safe life and economic development,” said Drecun.

Drecun pointed out that there is no membership of Kosovo in the UN, nor do we accept to recognize the fake state of Kosovo. He says that one can see a different concept of the USA on the continuation of the dialogue than the one presented in the Franco-German plan.

“The USA has accepted the position of Belgrade. The position of the USA is more correct because of the strong position of Belgrade, which said that there is no continuation of the dialogue before the formation of the ZSO and there is no return of Serbs to the institutions of Pristina,” said Drecun.

Speaking about the statement of Croatian President Zoran Milanović who said that Kosovo was stolen from Serbia, says that Milanović has moments when he looks in the mirror and when his conscience wakes up and he says something true.

“I would not agree with him that Kosovo was kidnapped, an attempt is underway, and by the time it is finally kidnapped, and I hope not, there is a lot of water to pass through the Danube and the Sava. This man spoke the truth. But that does not mean that they will change their attitude,” says Drecun.

He assessed that it is important to give President Aleksandar Vučić the strong support of the majority in the parliament in order to persevere in the defense of our national interests, in such a way that he can discuss the Franco-German proposal after the formation of the ZSO, but not to accept that our red lines.

“There is no membership of Kosovo in the UN as far as we are concerned, nor will we accept the fake state of Kosovo, everything else can be discussed,” says Drecun.

Air Serbia will next month begin codesharing with Gulf carrier Qatar Airways, building on an existing interline agreement.

The Serbian carrier, which has just indicated it returned profit last year, will from the start of February add its code to Qatar Airways’ five-times-weekly service between their respective hubs in Belgrade and Doha.

It will initially codeshare on Qatar’s onward flights to Adelaide, Baku, Brisbane, Tbilisi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Muscat, Nairobi, Perth, Seychelles, Singapore and Sydney. Further connections are lined up as part of the cooperation.

Qatar for its part will codeshare on Air Serbia destinations including flights to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Slovenia.

Air Serbia has a long-standing codeshare with another Gulf carrier Etihad Airways, which helped revamp the carrier in 2013 as part of its equity-alliance strategy. Etihad has since reduced its stake in Air Serbia to around 16% after the government increased its stake during recapitalizations carried out since the pandemic hit.

Air Serbia yesterday revealed preliminary figures showing it returned to the black for the first time since the pandemic last year, posting a profit of €21 million ($23 million) for 2022. That was achieved on passenger numbers of around 2.75 million, just 2% below 2019 levels.

Air Serbia chief executive Jiri Marek says: ”I am immensely happy with the good financial result achieved last year, which is already visible, because this is the real indicator of our company’s ability to react quickly and recognize opportunities for recovery and growth. This result comes after two extremely difficult years, not only for our company, but for the entire commercial aviation sector globally.

“We have ambitious plans for this year, some of which we have already announced,” he adds. This includes the launch of flights to Chicago in May, marking its second US destination after New York JFK and the restoration of a route last flown 30 years ago.

Last season, Ricciardo took 11th place in the overall driver standings with 37 points.

McLaren has terminated the contract with Ricciardo, who will be Red Bull’s reserve driver this season.

“Ricciardo is talented. He showed us that in Monza, he won eight races. I hope to see him back on the track in F1, which is his wish, and the doors of McLaren are open for him. If the stars align, I would love to to race him again,” Brown told McLaren’s YouTube channel.

Before McLaren, Ricciardo drove for Renault, Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Hispania Racing. This season, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will drive for the McLaren team.

“We think Oscar will be a sensational racer. If you look at his career, you will see that he won a lot in his first year. He has a great mental approach to the sport and now that Lando has a lot of experience, we think we have a great mix of experience and youth in the team,” he said. is Brown.
The new F1 season begins on March 5 with the Bahrain Grand Prix.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia on Thursday formally demanded that its security forces return to the breakaway former Serbian province of Kosovo, despite warnings from the West that such calls are unlikely to be accepted and only add to tensions in that part of the Balkans .

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told state RTS television that the government asked the commander of NATO-led peacekeepers stationed in Kosovo since 1999, when the Western alliance pushed out Serb troops from the region, to allow the return of up to 1,000 Serbian army and police officers to the Serb-populated north of the country.

“The request says that a certain number of (Serbian troops), from one hundred to up to 1,000, return to Kosovo,” Vucic said.

He said that despite the fact that it is “almost certain that this will not be granted,” the request will be put on the record.

Serbian officials claim a United Nations resolution that formally ended the Kosovo war allows for Serbian troops to return to Kosovo. NATO bombed Serbia to stop the war, end its bloody crackdown against ethnic Albanian separatists and civilians and order its troops out of Kosovo.

Serbian officials claim that the NATO and European Union-led peacekeeping missions are unable to protect the minority Serbs in Kosovo from harassment by majority Kosovo Albanians and that their security forces can do the job.

The return of Serbian troops is unlikely to be granted because it would de facto mean handing over security of Kosovo’s ethnic Serb-populated northern regions to Serbian forces — a move that would dramatically increase tensions in the Balkans.

German and US officials have vehemently rejected any idea of ​​the return of Serbian security forces to the region.

Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo flared anew during the past week after Serbs erected barricades on the main roads in the north of the province to protest the arrest of a former Kosovo Serb police officer. Shots were fired from the barricades.

Serbia raised combat readiness of its troops on the border with Kosovo and warned it would not stand by if Serbs in Kosovo, who make up less than 10% of Kosovo’s population, are attacked.

Kosovo’s statehood has been accepted by the US and much of the West. Serbia and its allies Russia and China have rejected it and have blocked Kosovo from joining the UN and other international institutions.

There are fears that Russia could push Serbia into another military intervention in Kosovo to try to shift at least some of the world attention from its invasion in Ukraine. Under Vucic’s populist leadership, Serbia has steadily been shifting away from its proclaimed EU membership goal and toward a close political and military alliance with Moscow.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday that “the Russian Ambassador to Serbia, who is in close contact with the Serbian leadership, has received instructions from the center (Moscow) to take concrete steps of support (to Serbia) which include normalizing or proposing ways to normalize the situation” in Kosovo.

Meanwhile, Kosovo’s prime minister on Thursday formally tabled his country’s application to be granted candidacy status for membership in the European Union, a first step in what looks set to be a very long path to eventual membership.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti submitted the application to Czech Minister for European Affairs Mikulas Bek, whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency.

After three weeks of negotiations, from November 1 to 21, 1995, the leaders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with the mediation of the United States of America, reached an agreement and ended the war.

The Dayton Agreement was signed by the then presidents of Serbia, Slobodan Milošević, Alija Izetbegović of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Franjo Tuđman of Croatia, and those countries are the guarantors of the implementation of the agreement.

The document was initialed in the presence of the then US Secretary of State Warren Christopher. Besides him, the main American mediators were Richard Holbrooke and General Wesley Clark.

It was officially signed at the Elysée Palace in Paris on December 14, 1995.

One of the main principles on which the Dayton Agreement is based is the division into two entities – Republika Srpska (49 percent of the territory) and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (51 percent of the territory).

On the occasion of the anniversary of the agreement, the newly elected president of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, said that together with the newly elected Serbian member of the BiH Presidency, Željko Cvijanović, he will formulate policies that will strengthen Serbia.

Dodik said that the stabilization of Republika Srpska will continue.

Željka Cvijanović said that the priority is to return to the original Dayton Agreement, bearing in mind that this document was accepted by all nations 27 years ago and that it brought a constitutional-political system that enabled the country to function in peace and that no one felt threatened.

MRI that Giannis Antetokounmpo underwent did not show any acute damage. Antetokounmpo is expected to be ready to play in the next Greek national team’s game on August 25 against Serbia.

The Greek basketball superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to return to action, despite back and knee soreness.

MRI that Antetokounmpo underwent did not show any acute damage. The player continues his rehabilitation following an individualized program, per Greek Basketball Federation’s report.

The Greek Freak missed the previous two preparation games in the Acropolis tournament due to back soreness. The Milwaukee Bucks’ leader is expected to play in the next 2023 FIBA ​​World Cup European Qualifiers Group I, where Greece will face Serbia next on August 25.

In the 2022 EuroBasket, Greece will play in Group C starting September 2, which will take place in Milan, where they will face Croatia, Italy, Great Britain, Ukraine, and Estonia.

The fact that she had shown no effort in the face of the acute threat of eviction indicates a “certain lack of interest in adapting to the local situation”.

A woman from Kosovo living in the canton of Aargau does not even want to try to learn the language of the new country where she has lived for many years now, German.

For this reason, the authorities did not want to extend the residence permit of the lady, transmit albinfo. But the case ended in the highest court of the Swiss judiciary, the Federal Court, based in Lausanne.

There it is now decided: It will be treated only under immigration law.

In a verdict published on Thursday, the judges of Lausanne informed her “in every possible way” that she was expected to implement the remarks made in this procedure, writes sda.ch. Alternatively, she may await a revocation or non-renewal of her residence permit.

In its ruling, the Federal Supreme Court emphasizes the importance of language ability to be able to integrate into society. In this respect, it is a matter of weighty public interest that is also recognized by international human rights conventions.

However, the private interest of the affected in this case currently still prevails. And according to him, she is allowed to stay in Switzerland, where she has lived since December 2015 with her husband – also from Kosovo – and their common son, four and a half years old.

But, if the permit is not renewed, it can be assumed that the husband would stay in Switzerland, where he worked for the same employer for ten years, reports albinfo.ch. For the child, this actually meant that he could only grow up with one of the two parents.

Despite the agreement signed for integration and subsequent repeated requests from the Migration Office in Aargau, the woman who was now warned has not yet given evidence of language proficiency. According to the Federal Court, she “consistently” refused to “make any attempt to learn German”.

This “non-cooperative attitude” has lasted for years. The fact that she had shown no effort in the face of the acute threat of eviction indicates a “certain lack of interest in adapting to the local situation”.

The creator of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert, recently stated that the coronavirus, most likely, will not undergo a more severe mutation and over time will return to a common cold.

During a seminar at the Royal Society of Medicine, the scientist said that viruses tend to become less virulent as they circulate in the population and therefore there is no reason that there would be a more severe variant of Sars-CoV -2.

The 59-year-old also revealed that she is making efforts to secure funding to take measures to prevent future pandemics and said urgent investment is needed to prevent the spread of other infectious diseases worldwide.

Her comments come after Professor Chris Whitty warned the day before that almost all unvaccinated children will be infected with COVID-19 at some point in the future and about half of young people have been infected with the virus./A2/
