BELGRADE UNMIK chief Farid Zarif has said that the UN mission in Kosovo was making significant efforts "in order for Pristina to change its attitude towards the north". Zarif was in Belgrade when he said that the situation in Kosovo "changed drastically since the beginning of the implementation of Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council", the Serbian parliament said in a statement on Wednesday. "Mediation from UN, others necessary in Kosovo" Zarif met with Parliament Speaker Nebojsa Stefanovic and said that Kosovo needed mediation from other international institutions as well, given the narrow maneuvering space of UNMIK, "as Pristina institutions no longer accept the mandate of the (UN) mission". The statement added that he also noted that "effort should be made so that the Pristina (Kosovo Albanian) leadership would become an acceptable interlocutor for Belgrade". Zarif said that it would be "a favorable perception of the population of northern Kosovo that their interests are directly included in the Belgrade platform would be of great importance for the development of the situation". Stefanovic said that the UN mission was an important factor of stability in Kosovo and Metohija, while Zarif noted that the administration in Pristina should intensify its communication with UNMIK. Stefanovic informed Zarif about the facts testifying to the jeopardized security of the Serb community in Kosovo and Metohija, which prevents the return of displaced persons, his office said. Zarif said that, due to the fact that the Pristina institutions no longer accept UNMIK's mandate, "the mission of providing stability on the ground, protecting the Serb minority and fighting fight against discrimination was being conducted in cooperation with EULEX and KFOR". UNMIK chief said that Serbia has "objective reasons for concern about the situation in Kosovo", pointing out that, thanks to reports of international organizations, "relevant international actors are also informed about that situation". UNMIK will in the coming period assess the situation in Kosovo and Metohija primarily based on the results in the domain of respect and promotion of human rights. They agreed that it was necessary to continue cooperation and intensify regular communication, the statement added. Stefanovic and Zarif meet in Belgrade (Beta) Beta

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
