Serbian President spoke last night for RTS about the meeting with EU High Representative Federica Mogherini and situation in Kosovo and Metohija.
Previously a press statement was issued in which the EU High Representative Mogherini stressed that “what happened yesterday must not happen again.”
“I expressed our stance, showed documents proving that Marko Djuric did not violate the procedures. I do not give a thought on what is written in domestic, respectively international media, that someone wanted to do something or scarifies Djuric, this is nonsense. We will see how we would resolve issues in the future, when you have conflicts, you need to strive to resolve them with talks. How it will look like, we shall see,” Vucic told RTS.
Vucic added that Serbian people “feel today incomparably safer than yesterday,” adding that he has spoken with USA official, Wess Mitchell and the common stance is that “the peace is of crucial importance.”
Asked to comment on media allegation that he intended “to rise up the army” Vucic responded that “he does not want to speculate about that, however, based on the Constitution, he is authorized to command and his job is to protect our people and citizens of our country.”
“Kosmet as per Constitution is a part of the territory of Serbia, we have particular rules, but others have to respect them too, and it is there are no long barrels and armed forces in the north of Kosovo. I did not make such decision, and I hope I would never do it, and would do my best not to make it ever, however it is foreseen as one of the options when a state and people are endangered. I said that my words are not a joke, I stick to my words when they are serious and responsible. It seems to me, some understood very well it is not a time to play with Serbia, that Serbia is not as weak as they would like it to be,” Vucic underlined.
Asked to comment on the decision of Srpska Lista to leave ruling coalition in Kosovo, Vucic noted they would be in opposition and they as “peoples’ representatives would receive support from Serbia,” Serbian media reported.
