Dusan Teodorovic, a member of Serbia’s Academy of Sciences and Arts, called on Monday on President Aleksandar Vucic to resign for failing to solve the problem of Kosovo after six years of negotiations.
Speaking to N1 Belgrade morning talk show, Teodorovic said Vucic should resign after saying that Serbia has nothing in Kosovo today, and that “even a meter of Kosovo is a gain.”
Teodorovic is a professor at the Transport and Traffic Engineering Faculty in Belgrade and Professor Emeritus, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
The academic has said that those who lead Serbia today ”are the members of the 1990s’ regime junior team, who are trying to solve the Kosovo problem which they are mainly to blame for.”
”What is he (Vucic) waiting for? Let he resign. He has been negotiating for six years. Let him say – I didn’t succeed… I’ll be a lawyer,” Teodorovic said.
He said that the Belgrade team leading the Brussels negotiations on Kosovo was ”incompetent” and that the Government should do that, asking under which Constitutional article the president is heading the talks.
Teodorovic has also said that both Vucic and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic ”speak in riddles and are extremely dishonest to the people. They must give all the citizens an opportunity to see all the relevant documents.”
”The perception of Kosovo is the one they create. People must be informed, and one must be honest with people,” he said.
Teodorovic has added that the regime “has been functioning on lies and fear”, and that he felt sore because the academic community kept silent.
”No changes will happen until Serbia’s civil society keeps silent,” he said.
