“It is about an extensive and serious text. After we analyze how realistic it is and whether it can be carried out, we’ll inform the public. We’ll talk about it at the state level. All should be acquainted with the document, intellectuals, public figures, lawyers,” said Vučić to journalists in Palace of Serbia.

He explained that European and economic future depends on certain concessions which have to be made at certain moments and that politics is all about measuring and judging over it, and added that he believes that the best way forward and respond will be found, and stressed that nothing is a Holy Bible apart of better life of citizens of Serbia.
