Belgrade to mount diplomatic offensive soon
Belgrade will request that the next UNMIK report on the situation in Kosovo, which should be discussed by the UN Security Council in February, include the latest visits ban for Serbian officials who wanted to travel to Kosovo and the recent beating of nine Serbs who were arrested on Orthodox Christmas Day, the Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes.

According to the daily, numerous international human rights NGOs have already been informed about that.
With a comprehensive diplomatic offensive in the most influential international institutions, the Serbian leadership will try to tie Pristina's hands, and prevent the Kosovo authorities from blocking Serbian officials' visits to the province in the future, the daily adds.
During the holidays, Pristina did not give a green light for Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic to celebrate Christmas in Gracanica, and for Serbian Parliament Speaker Nebojsa Stefanovic and Justice Minister Nikola Selakovic on the occasion of the Julian New Year, the daily notes.
