Aleksandar Vucic has said that Serbia "remains militarily neutral, but needs NATO as an ally to protect the Serb people in Kosovo and Metohija."

Vucic reacted to the criticism in the media - originating from a part of "the right-wing" opposition over an agreement with NATO granting its members freedom of movement and immunity - by saying it amounted to "political hypocrisy of those who thump their chest as the protectors of Kosovo and Serbs in Kosovo but were unable to even protect mosques."

The prime minister said the agreement in question was "signed during another government and was then ratified, but has only now become a topic for political, and not for supposedly patriotic reasons."

"Now this agreement is a topic, not when it was signed, because the topic and the target should be me, and not those who signed it," Vucic said, responding to reporters' questions.
