President Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia has a political problem with the Albanians in Kosovo but fights to preserve peace and stability. He added Serbia would "have the strength to protect the Serbs." Vucic made these remarks in the town of Secanj, he was visiting as a part of his ongoing “Future of Serbia” campaign, BETA news agency reported.

Those who think Serbia is weak and it will not have the strength to protect and guard its people are, according to Vucic "hugely mistaken." He also said that Serbia "will have much more strength than before, without thumping its chest, to preserve and protect its people who only want to live in their own homes."

"As far as economy is concerned, I see only great prosperity, huge improvement, better roads and great progress. We have a political problem with the Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija, because we are dealing with people who are irresponsible and think that it is possible to do everything unlawfully. They think it is possible either to persecute Serbs or to do everything they want against Serbia," Vucic said.
