Periskopi(5 years ago)
(5 years ago)Serbia is always ready to continue dialogue with Pristina under the auspices of the European Union, but also respecting the position of the United States, as well as the positions of Russia and China”, Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, said today. He thus answered the question of journalists what he tells those who said Serbia [...]
He thus answered the journalists' question about what he told those who said Serbia would recognise Kosovo, while adding that he would first place “koca on the stump” rather than sign any recognition documents.
Vuciq said he had once rejected Kosovo's recognition in Washington, where he said there were two versions of the agreement.
I couldn't describe that feeling for you, our services found that the question would be asked, so I went to the most powerful house in the world with a great fear, I wasn't afraid, because I knew what my decision would be, “said Vuciq.
He said he had immediately withdrawn his delegation and that he had told the American delegation that Serbia would not sign such an agreement.
Vucic says Serbia is always ready for dialogue under EU auspices, but that it will also respect the position of the United States, Russia and China.
I will not lie to the people, to say the situation is easy and I'm playing a hero, the situation is difficult and it will be harder and harder. As I told you three days ago, I see, I see it narrowed down, because their mutual conflicts in the world are getting bigger and we're paying the price for this”, Vuchic concluded.
US President Joe Biden, in a letter of protocol congratulations, has urged Vucinqi to commit to reaching an agreement with Serbia, which will include mutual recognition with Kosovo.
