On this occasion, President Vucic explained the position of Serbia.
"We are committed to preserving peace and respecting the Brussels Agreement, but we will in no way allow the humiliation of either Serbia or its citizens," said a statement from the president's office.
This is the first meeting with the Quint ambassadors since the session of the Serbia's Council for National Security, when Serbia asked that all troops that had burst into the north of Kosovo and Metohija be withdrawn, and for an urgent answer from the EU as to whether the Brussels agreement exists in legal transactions.
Addressing the media at the time, the president of Serbia conveyed several decisions, conclusions, proposals and recommendations, including that he had spoken that morning with ambassadors of the most powerful Western countries, i.e., "the Quint," about what a "so-called compromise solution" should look like.
"I rejected that solution because it is not a compromise, but a solution that would humiliate Serbia. It is a solution by which they would forget 70 percent of what the Albanians intended to do on the administrative line, but would introduce the 20-30 percent of the measures. I received the Council's agreement to refuse it. I rejected that because I am fed up with the policy of fait accompli, and you cannot talk like that with Serbia," Vucic said at the time and stressed that the Council for National Security considers as inappropriate statements equating the roles of Belgrade and Pristina and calling for deescalation of tensions.
