Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic speaking for the Prva TV morning program said he has the political courage to resolve the Kosovo issue and “there would be peace unless somebody physically attacks the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija,” B92 reported.
“There would be peace unless somebody physically attacks Serbs and starts to kill them, that I would not be able to bear,” Vucic said.
Vucic added he took upon himself resolving the Kosovo issue as his own job, while the Government of Serbia authorized him to negotiate.
He noted there would probably be no solution at all, since there are many different goals and factors in the world that are able to initiate whatever they want through their agencies’ networks and destroy every attempt to talk and agree.
“I am not an optimist when it comes to the agreement, although I am ready to talk to Pristina, the moment they revoke the tariffs,” Vucic said. He also said he is very afraid that this issue would be left to our children.
According to the President Vucic it is realistic the agreement would not happen and that would be his biggest mistake. He said he will not let politically this issue to remain unresolved, although he knows he would be politically defeated in that regard. “I would fight with all my strength and all my heart. However, I know for 99 percent I will not succeed,” Vucic said, adding he “has no issue with that in a historic sense, but has it because of a real life of our people.”
Asked whether he has an idea about the solution, Vucic responded positively, emphasizing he would present it the very moment somebody accepts it, and Albanians in particular, would need to do that. He added he presented part of that idea to them, and part did not.
Vucic also said he will meet with the Burundi Foreign Affairs Minister after the interview, a country that revoked recognition of Kosovo and a true friend of Serbia. “There would be more such friends who would come to us,” he noted.
According to him, frozen conflict in Kosovo no longer exists, because Albanians do not want it, they want to consolidate their state they created in 2008, they are getting nervous and often make wrong decisions. US and the EU see that and that is why they are in a hurry to resolve this issue, since they observed the nervousness of Albanians and that could lead into conflict, Vucic explained.
