Aleksandar Vucic says that the suffering of Serbia has been tripled because of the double standards employed by "those whose part our country wants to become."

The Serbian president spoke late on Tuesday after his meeting with high-ranking representatives of Romania, Bulgaria and Greece in Varna, Bulgaria, and added that these three countries are "very important" and that they discussed "the injustice that has been inflicted on Serbia."

Belgrade is preparing a letter which will be forwarded to 22 countries of the European Union after the Catalonia case.

Belgrade will invite 22 EU member states to reconsider the decision to recognize Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence, as Catalonia is an obvious example of their mistake, Večernje Novosti writes today.

The EU spokesperson, Maja Kocijancic, rejected allegations that different standards apply to Spain and Catalonia than those applied to Serbia, in case of Kosovo, adding that the international law is universal and the EU fully respects it, Tanjug news agency reported.

“Kosovo is sui generis case,” she told Tanjug.

Statement from Brussels about Kosovo as “a sui generis case” are in frontal clashes with simple logic and truths, and insulting to the Serbian people, Serbian Government Office for Kosovo Director Marko Djuric said to RTS.

“Instead of cynical and senseless phrases, I expect from the EU clarification of several issues to which Brussels does not provide responses, either because it does not have them or because it considers Serbia is not worth seeking any responses,” Marko Djuric said.

A number of Balkan states may have been rebellious provinces within recent memory – but don’t expect them to stick up for anyone else’s fight for self-determination.

The EU has been taken widely to task for its silence over the violence in Catalonia. What is just as surprising, some might say, is the even deeper silence of the individual Balkan countries.

In the case of Kosovo was told that "unilateral moves are possible, and then you will depend on the affection of great powers" - there is no international law, this is the policy of force, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić told RTS.

Reactions of the EU and the member states to the referendum in Catalonia are unanimous - they are for the constitutional unity of Spain, as French President Emanuel Macron said. The EC spokesman points out that Kosovo and Catalonia cannot be compared, reports RTS.

The president and the government of Serbia will address the European Commission (EC) in a letter, looking for answers to a range of questions.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić announced this late on Monday.

Tough to defend ‘rhetorical mimicry’ and an attempt to cover up EU's participation in the Kosovo's secession by double standards - this is how experts of international law and analysts estimate the EC's view that the Catalan case cannot be compared to Kosovo, since Serbia, unlike Spain, is not a member EU, writes daily Večernje Novosti.

After the Catalan referendum and the European Commission's position that this referendum is illegal, it is probably clear how difficult it is to safeguard the independence of Serbia, says President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, daily Večernje Novosti writes.
