Simic: The solution must include the legitimate interests of Serbia and the Serbs (Danas, RTK2)
''What the international factor considers as a solution to the Kosovo issue, in the eyes of Serbia and the Serbs means a recognition of Kosovo, and those are not our legitimate interests,'' says Vice President of the Serbian List Igor Simic, adding that this should change, reports RTK2.
Representatives of the international community are increasingly louder in stating that Serbs and Albanians should agree on Kosovo. For Simic this is a positive thing that should include the Serbian national interests.
''I am pleased that all international factors also supported the stance of President Vucic- that an agreement must be reached between Albanians and Serbs. However, at odds with our desires, to come to an agreement, are statements of the same officials who absolutely stand up against any idea which would mean the respect of the interests of the Serbs and Serbia in resolving the problem in Kosovo. That is what need to be changed, because what certain international circles consider as a solution, on the other hand, in the eyes of the Serbs and Serbia seem as the recognition and absolute non-acceptance of legitimate interests of Serbs and Serbia in this process,'' Simic said.
Simic claims that both President Vucic and the Serbian List believe that the dialogue does not have an alternative, but whether and when the next meeting will be held in Brussels depends on Pristina's readiness to sincerely approach this process, reports RTK2.
