Serbia has woke up with reports from media there that official Belgrade is fearing that Kosovo's likelihood of accession to the International Police Organisation, Interpol, are great.
So, according to them, Serbian campaigns against this membership have also intensified, KTV reports.
However, in the Kosovo Foreign Ministry, they have refused to comment on these reports, nor to speak up whether enough votes for membership have been secured.
In a brief response, Jethlir Zyberaj, foreign minister's adviser, Behgjet Pacolli, has said that Kosovo's membership in Interpol only contributes to international peace and security.
Parliamentary Commission for Internal Affairs and Security Chairman Haxhi Shala estimates that the Interpol member states are more interested than Kosovo, for the latter to be part of Interpol.
He believes that this time around Kosovo will be part of Interpol.
And security connoisseur Avni Islami estimates that the likelihood of Kosovo's accession to Interpol is real.
According to him, members of Interpol also benefit from membership, since they estimate that it would thus increase efficiency in fighting crime.
Islam estimates there is still room for continuing lobbies in member states, which have doubts about Kosovo's accession.
The Interpol General Assembly takes place from 18 November to 21 November this year in Dubai, where Kosovo again intends to become part of it.
Kosovo needs to secure 2/3 of the member states' votes that are present at the General Assembly, while Interpol has a total of 190 member states.
