Vuciq for CNN: Serbia implemented all international obligations, Kosovo none

Kosovo and Serbia have started negotiations on normalising relations, mediated by the European Union, in 2011.

The sides have signed dozens of agreements, but not all have been implemented.

Vuciq has claimed that since Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has come to power, 353 attacks against Serbs have been carried out, motivated in the entity base, and that this is the largest number of incidents such as Kosovo's declaration of independence.

This year alone, five shooting attacks on Serb national civilians have been carried out. Serbs only want security for themselves and their families”, Vuciq has said.

He has denied Kurt's charge that he has blackmailed Serbs from participating in local elections in Kosovo, and has asked whether he has seen legitimate democratic elections somewhere, with a little over 3 per cent election exit.

Vuciq has said Serbia is satisfied with statements made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and French President Emmanuel Macron, concerning the Kosovo crisis.

Secretary Blinken has said he strongly condemns the actions of the Government of Kosovo, which, according to him, are escalating tensions in the north and increasing instability, until Macron has said Kosovo is responsible for the riots caused.

According to him, Serbia has not violated any international agreement, in its response to the crisis.

We have respected the UN Kumanovo Agreement and Resolution 1244. We have not entered Kosovo with soldiers. So far we have had professional co-operation with NATO troops in Kosovo, and I am convinced that this co-operation will continue”.

Asked how Serbia's president comments on citizens' protests in northern Kosovo has said it is very important to preserve peace and stability.

I know they're determined to protect their seats and I urge them to protest peacefully”. / REL
