Serbian Orthodox Church against deal with Kosovo Albanians

Associated Press 9/4/13 BELGRADE, Serbia – The influential Serbian Orthodox Church has appealed against a deal with Kosovo Albanians that would pave the way for Serbia’s EU membership. The EU has given Serbia until Tuesday to say whether it would relinquish the control of northern of Kosovo — one of the most difficult issues dividing the former Serbian province — in exchange for the start of Serbia’s EU membership negotiations.
