"We should lose only what we have to lose," Vucic says (RTS, B92)

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told RTS that the inevitable topic in Davos was Kosovo and Metohija.

He said that it us "up to us to try to talk and reach a compromise, and lose only what we have to."

"This means not losing what we must not lose, and if you want to define it in this way, to lose only what we have to. I think that is something that is normal, rational," Vucic said.

"It is up to us to try to talk and to reach a compromise, so I told Albanians - if you are saying it every day, and if some others in the world expect us to give everything, and in return get nothing, and that you get everything, and in return give nothing back - thank you and goodbye."

Asked whether he spoke about this with EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn and what he said, Vucic replied that Hahn "understood the position of Serbia and knows how difficult it is for us to suffer daily humiliation in different ways, but asked responsibility of us."

The president said he expected the continuation of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue that Thursday's conversations represented "some form of dialogue" - but that "the problem is that we are seeking a solution concerning the investigation into the murder of Oliver Ivanovic and are seeking results."

Vucic recalled that the US ambassador had told Pristina that this was "an excellent opportunity to show results."
