"I won't play, like they did in Macedonia," Vucic said (TV Happy, Tanjug, B92)

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said no solution for Kosovo and Metohija will exist unless a majority of people accept it. Vucic added that at the moment there is no talk about any solutions, because there is no conversation, B92 reports.

"I've said that a hundred times. I will not play like they did in Macedonia with consultative referendums where the people said they were against, yet pass that in the Assembly. I think it's a good agreement for them, I welcomed it, but the way in which it' been done, I would never do it," the president told Happy TV, apparently referring to the Skopje-Athens name deal.

He added that once a referendum fails, it can only be stated that it had failed, and announce this to the public democratically.

"If there was any referendum in Serbia, if we received 49 percent and the other side 51 percent, it would have been my job to resign and say that the referendum was not successful in accordance with the Constitution and the law, the citizens had decided in favor of some another option. That would have been the epilogue because, you must respect the citizens," Vucic said.

As he said, the people are the bearers of supreme sovereignty and "you cannot go against the people."
