Representatives of Serbian civil society and independent media in Kosovo call on the Crisis Headquarters in Gračanica and officials at the Clinical-Hospital Centre in Priština situated in Gračanica to inform the public of the epidemiological situation in Serb communities in central Kosovo, and for the Crisis Centre in the north of Kosovo to end their practice of selectivity when informing media outlets.

After the cancellation of the summit in Washington, the EU was given the opportunity to mediate more dynamically in the negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina. The chances for reaching an agreement on normalization are not great due to the shortcomings in the approach that the EU has towards the negotiations, but also due to the excessive reliance on Presidents Vučić and Thaci. These are some of the views expressed during the online debate of the Mitrovica Social Club called "Openly about dialogue", which was held on July 8. Rada Trajković, president of the European Movement of Kosovo Serbs, Augustin Palokaj, correspondent of Koha Ditore and the Croatian Jutarnji list from Brussels, and Borko Stefanović, former head of the Belgrade negotiating team, spoke about the prospect of continuing the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina. Ognjen Gogić, head of the NGO AKTIV office in Pristina, was the debate's moderator.

Following EU Special Envoy Miroslav Lajčák’s visit to Pristina and Belgrade and the announcement of meeting in Washington between Kosovo and Serbia representatives, a question arises as to whether the normalization process is moving on ‘two tracks’, the one being American and the other European. Or else, is it the part of the same path, with one phase being economic and the other political?

This text has an ambitious intention to oppose the "epidemic" of ambiguity, banality, and "allowed lies" that have accompanied the dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo for years and tries to interpret what lies behind the current turmoil in a language devoid of any ambiguity. Attitudes are personal and, as such, subject to errors, but they are based on objective analysis and the author's many years of professional work on this topic.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March NGO Aktiv has noticed an increase in crimes in areas inhabited by Kosovo Serbs. This has led to concerns over security within the Kosovo Serb community.
