Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic spoke on Wednesday for Prva TV about his phone call earlier in the afternoon with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Vucic stressed that the conversation was “long and rich in content.”
“If I may say – and I’ve met with him many times – today in his words I felt probably the highest degree of support, as well as in (his) reactions, because I know him well,” the president said, adding that he asked Putin “what his advice was.”
According to Vucic, this tone of Putin is something that “cannot be described with words – you must know how he speaks.”
Besides, the Serbian president said that his Russian counterpart condemned in the strongest terms the assault on Marko Djuric, the storming into northern Kosovo and the beating of Serbs.
“The Russians will undertake certain measures on this issue in various institutions,” said Vucic, adding that he “thinks we will have every kind of support from Russia.”
“We agreed to keep in constant touch, and I also spoke with (Belarus President) Lukashenko,” he revealed.
Speaking about the events in Mitrovica North on Monday when Djuric was arrested, he said that “somebody role-played as the (Kosovo) police,” while the police are not the ones “who burst in with long guns.”
Asked whether he was satisfied with the way the West has reacted, the Serbian president replied, “Of course I’m not.”
