Leader of the People’s Party Vuk Jeremić said for the TV N1 morning news that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić requested a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday night for Wednesday.
“That’s not how it’s done in the United Nations, one cannot ask today for tomorrow, it looks bad in the eyes of the international community” Jeremić said. He added he learned from international sources that President Vučić did not ask for security detail during his stay in New York.
“It is unclear whether he was on a private or official visit. What I think happened was that he went on a private visit, accompanied by family members, as well as the members of his cabinet, after it was leaked in the public that he was there, in a hurry-scurry manner, on Monday night, he asked for a meeting with Guterres,” Jeremić explained, adding that “in the UN they understood that he requested this meeting in despair”.
Jeremić said he has information that “Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Kosovo President Hashim Thaci met in Paris” and added it was “odd that Thaci had travelled to New York on the same day as Vučić did.”
Jeremić opined that the Community of Serb Municipalities “is a small recompense in the negotiations for what we have handed over, which is a telephone call”.
He pointed out current situation in Kosovo is that “everything is handed over” and there was “only one thing to complete the attempt to establish a statehood – joining the formal membership of the UN, and without the consent of Serbia, it cannot technically happen”.
Asked what he would do, Jeremić said that he would not have negotiated so that “everything was surrendered” without getting anything for it.
“Either people did not know how to negotiate or they negotiated by making concessions, and they were getting concessions for them on some other side, not on Kosovo side” he said.
