Kosovo government

Member of the Kosovo government Edita Tahiri has said that citizens cannot use Serbian ID cards issued in Kosovo towns when entering Kosovo.

She said on Tuesday that Serbian identity documents could no longer be used for this purpose starting from midnight.

Pristina-based website Gazeta Blic is reporting that Kosovo's Constitutional Court "could decide" on the ZSO by the end of next week.

Murder, not intimidation was the goal of the recent attacks against Serbs in Gorazdevac and Srbobran in Kosovo, says Dalibor Jevtic.

Speaking for B92 late on Tuesday, this minister for returns and communities in the Kosovo government added:

The Kosovo government and international institutions including the UN, alongside NGOs and civic groups, are holding a series of events to highlight assaults on women as part of the annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence which runs until December 10.

A Pristina court on Sunday ordered Kurti to be held for 30 days in a high-security prison after riot police detained him when they stormed the Vetevendosje party's headquarters the previous day, clashing with its supporters.

The raid followed an opposition rally on Saturday against the Kosovo government's recent EU-brokered agreements with Serbia and Montenegro.

Protesters threw stones at government offices and police in Pristina on Wednesday during a demonstration sparked by the arrest of opposition MP Donika Kadaj Bujupi, who is accused of setting off tear gas in parliament.

Riot police responded by firing tear gas after the stone-throwing protesters broke windows and damaged the façade of the government building.

Kosovo police arrested Donika Kadaj-Bujupi, an MP from the opposition Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, AAK, for letting off tear gas in parliament.

"She was arrested after she left her home," Muharrem Nitaj, an AAK spokesperson, told BIRN.

Kadaj-Bujupi was arrested on Wednesday morning for setting off tear gas inside the chamber and sent to Pristina's District Court.

Edita Tahiri, a Kosovo government minister in charge of the dialogue with Belgrade, has ruled out the possibility of ending that dialogue.

According to Pristina's Albanian language daily Epoka e Re, she stressed the EU-sponsored negotiations "should continue."

A group of activists of the Self-Determination party forced their way into the yard of the Kosovo government in Pristina on Friday, the Kosovo police said.

Once inside, they proceeded to puncture the tires on several official vehicles, according to the police.

The Kosovo government "has not yet taken a position on whether to allow Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic to arrive in Kosovo."

This has been reported by the Pristina-based Albanian language daily Koha Ditore.
