Kovacevic: For Kosovo needed more wisdom (RTS)

People's Party Vice President Sinisa Kovacevic signed a petition "One signature changes everything" and pointed out that the solution to the issue of Kosovo should be sought in an agreement of some future, wiser and more responsible Serbian and Albanian politicians, without international interference, reported Serbian national broadcaster RTS.

Kovacevic told reporters in Belgrade, after signing a petition not to grant Kosovo a chair in the United Nations, that Kosovo "must always remain Serbian in the state-legal sense, at the same time it must be wide enough for all Albanians who gave birth to children there and buried their parents. "

That's why it is necessary to wait for some far-sighted, wiser and responsible generations of politicians who will understand this, Kovacevic believes.

He warned that, if Kosovo is granted a chair in the UN, nothing can prevent two internationally recognized states from uniting by the will of their citizens.

It is then Great Albania and it is only a matter of the day when Ulcinj, western FYROM or northern Greece will join, Kovacevic said, and expressed his doubt that this could be an introduction to the third Balkan war.

It is better to wait for a more precise, smarter and more responsible time, and solve this problem for ever in an international agreement of two peoples. The solution is in the agreement between the Serbs and Albanians - in my opinion - without mediators, without Brussels, Washington or Moscow. I am not sure that it is in the interest of the great powers to calm the Balkans, Kovacevic said.

Kovacevic does not think that a quick solution for the Kosovo issue would improve the lives of Serbs for the better.

Asked whether the demarcation is when Kosovo President Hashim Thaci says that he will return Serbia "Leka Rankovic'c gift", that is parts of some municipalities, Kovacevic said he thinks that it was a gift from Petar Stambolic but added that historians should be consulted about it.

You see the paradox, he said, we will return you what is yours.

That's how Khrushchev gave Crimea, and see how far it led, added Kovacevic.

He said that he read Brussels agreements, but he thinks that journalists should ask President Aleksandar Vucic "why he keep his negotiations a secret, to the extent that he protects them from the parliament".

I doubt that even members of the party know the content of the negotiations. There is a lot of responsibility and work for one head, and I think it would be easier for him to share his dilemmas with some intelligent people and seek advice. You cannot be an intellectual of general practice, Kovacevic said.
