President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic told TV Prva that he believes that Serbia should not recognize Kosovo in any way.
“I don’t think we need to accept or recognize independence in any way, but we need to work with Albanians from Kosovo on mutual cooperation. However, that is impossible because independence is all they want to talk about,” Vucic added.
“I think that the Open Balkans is the best idea, it is a way to overcome our differences and bad relations. As far as justice is concerned, there is no doubt that Serbia has suffered great injustice. How is it possible that everyone has the right to secede from Yugoslavia?” And afterwards, there’s no place for the Serbs to live,” he explained as quoted by B92 last Friday.
Apart from Vucic, the talk show hosted playwright Biljana Srbljanovic and journalist Nikola Tomic.
“I think it is terribly important for the recovery of the nation to accept facts: We fought a war and we lost it. Healing process will be finished when we learn true facts in school”, Srbljanovic replied.
The right to stronger oppression is not international law, it is primarily based on the UN Charter. Everything that happened to our country and people was done contrary to the UN, aggression was carried out against our country against the law. The question is – why would it end? Where would that end? I don’t think we lost wars, nor were we responsible for all those wars. Serbia is always perceived as a hegemon in the Balkans in the eyes of great powers,” he said.
“And there is no Serbia small enough that they would not call it great, they want to always weaken Serbia. Today, Serbia is apt to respond to all pressures, even when they do not exist, they are present every day on Kosovo and RS, and if you have all this in mind, it raises the question of what we can do,” Vucic said./ Argumentum.al
