Classic thesis CV and \nobibliography

Question

I am trying to add my publications in my CV using the classicthesis template. Since, I want the citations with no bibliography, I used the package bibentry in order to call the nobibliography command.

As soon as I try to compile, that is at the first step doing PDFLatex, I am getting the following error:

! LaTeX Error: Lonely \item--perhaps a missing list environment.

Out of curiosity, I complied properly to see what sort of output I obtain. That is I did, PDFLatex, BibTeX, PDFLatex, PDFLatex. The pdf is generated without any citations. Any ideas about that?

The code is given below:
