Kosovo courts have taken over war crimes cases from EULEX, and apart from the crimes committed by the KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army") against Serbs, they will also deal with crimes against the Albanians that the Serbs are suspected of committing.

The ceremony in the Presidency was attended by ministers Ivica Dacic, Nebojsa Stefanovic, Zlatibor Loncar, Aleksandar Vulin, Vladan Vukosavljevivic, chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina Milorad Dodik, and Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov, who is among the recipients.

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic is today taking part in the ceremonies in Orasac, central Serbia.

The first on the list, according to many of them, is General Ljubisa Dikovic, who until recently served as chief of the Serbian Army's General Staff.

Speaking for Prva TV's morning program on Monday, Dikovic said that his conscience is clear on this matter. He also said that according to his knowledge, the indictment against him exists, and that it was written in Belgrade.

He added that there was intent to have a broader discussion with the EU within the September dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.

The ceremony, that included highest military honors, was organized to mark Victory Day over fascism in the Second World War, which President Aleksandar Vucic is spending in Moscow.

According to a press release from the Serbian Presidency, Alli "stressed that NATO respects the position of Serbia to be military neutral and define cooperation according to its needs."

Vucic said that the firm position of Serbia's military neutrality is not an obstacle for developing cooperation with NATO, but is instead in the interest of strengthening regional stability.
