Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that Austria kept its word and sent important messages over the last six months while chairing the EU, Tanjug news agency reported.

“I have to say I am delighted with an energy Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz invested over the last six months in resolving the Balkans issues. Austria understands very well the problems in the Balkans,” President Vucic said.

He added that Austria and Chancellor Kurz in particular, invested great efforts, energy and work to resolve the issues in a peaceful manner.

He noted the official Vienna kept its word, and although Austria recognized Kosovo, it unequivocally voiced its stance on Pristina’s taxes and intention to form an army.
