Through a video message, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has been addressing Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti today, as well as Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic, demanding that “leave Serbia comfortable”. His statement comes after the criticism he received from them for arming Serbia from China.
We in the Balkans have a lot of these great animals and I would always accept the role of a lone wolf, not hyenas, shameless and immoral, no matter how many three, five, six, sometimes even 19. Worse than the hyenas you have to give, respect for blood feuds, is to be a deceitful fly, spinning around them and expecting them to bring their prey, and such are Kurti and Djukanovic”, he said.
Vucic complained that Kosovo and Montenegro's leader are damaging Serbia when they are presenting it as dangerous for the region. Furthermore, he inaugurated by saying anti-missile systems buy them for protection from the enemy, adding that to protect themselves from Kosovo and Montenegro, these weapons are needed, but “spray of mosquitoes”.
Our “System serves to destroy missiles, air carrier that would violate Serbia's airspace. So, I wonder how we risk Pristina, how are we jeopardising Podgorica this way? To joke about it, we would rather have bought spray, because more important to us is to protect against mosquitoes and flies than any serious air force they may have. But let's leave the jokes”. Vucic said buying weapons from China was legitimate and transparent.
Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti said on April 12th that the government is concerned that Serbia has bought weapons from China, but not scared.
Serbia seems to be in some sort of panic when it notices it cannot stand at three or four seats at the same time. She's trying to strengthen herself because she might be lonely. Serbia's ongoing armatta is not safe for the region and for the Republic of Kosovo, but on the other hand, it is an expression of their fear that they could remain lonely”, Kurti said at a news conference.
Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic also expresses concern for the procurement of Chinese arms in Serbia.
“This is a continuing tendency of Serbia's weapons by the countries now emerging, not only as competitors, but visible enemies of Europe and NATO”, Djukanovic said in Podgorica on 12 April, after meeting with North Macedonia President Stevo Pendarovski.
Both Brussels and Washington have repeatedly expressed concern over Serbia's arms purchases in Russia and China, because Serbia, as a candidate country for EU membership, is expected to harmonise its foreign and security policy with the European bloc.
