President Aleksandar Vucic thanked Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej for his words that the president fights like a lion for Kosovo and Metohija, adding these words are nice, but also binding, Tanjug news agency reported.

“These are nice, but also very binding words, very important and I would fight for the interests of our people in Kosovo and Metohija wholeheartedly and with all the strength, as I fought until now,” Vucic told journalists in Belgrade.

He added, he cannot know if his struggle for the southern province would always be in harmony with some people, who are dreaming about impossible and unrealistic dreams, saying he would fight for Serbia, Kosovo and Metohija and primarily for the interests and the future of our people in Kosovo, Serbian media reported.
