BELGRADE Pristina's new liaison officer Valdet Sadiku will arrive in Belgrade on July 17, writes the daily Vecernje Novosti. Pristina's new liaison officer Valdet Sadiku will arrive in Belgrade on July 17, writes the daily Vecernje Novosti. "Pristina's new liaison officer to arrive July 17" According to the paper, Sadiku has received detailed instructions "not to make the kind of gaffes made by his predecessor Lulzim Peci, which caused protests from the Serbian side, and to make public statement only about his technical mission without political comments about relations between Belgrade and Pristina." "Sadiku is strictly forbidden from insisting that liaison officers have diplomatic status," writes the paper. "The new liaison officer was urgently appointed by Kosovo's President Atifete Jahjaga, at the proposal of Foreign Minister Enver Hodzaj, and the choice was mostly influenced by the fact that Sadiku takes a soft line on the normalization of relations with Serbia," writes the daily. Belgrade and Pristina exchanged liaison officers on June 17, but Peci stepped down after just two days "following a disagreement with Prime Minister Hashim Thaci over statements that normalization of relations must entail a recognition of Kosovo's independence on the part of Belgrade." The office of Belgrade's liaison officer Dejan Pavicevic, who assumed his post on June 17, is located at the EU Office in Pristina, while offices are waiting for Sadiku at the building of the EU Delegation in the Serbian capital. Novosti writes that Sadiku "has been given signals through unofficial channels that it would be best if he did not bring any symbols of the so-called state of Kosovo, such as a flag or a coat of arms, into the offices he has been assigned."
