Vucic: "Just so there are no misgivings - we will not support Kosovo's UN membership"

It goes like this. Today is 10 years since (the signing of) the Brussels Agreement. You form the ZSO (Community of Serb Municipalities) with meaningful powers, when you do that, and Serbia has always kept its word, as it did after the Brussels agreement and will in the future, Serbia will fulfill its part of the job. But there can be no games around that, you have to fulfill it and only when you do, we will then fulfill our part

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic said today, after a meeting with Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom, that they also discussed the situation in Kosovo and Metohija and that, so that there would be no misgivings, he repeated Serbia's position - we will not support Kosovo's membership in the UN.

"We also spoke about the situation in Kosovo and Metohija and I repeated, so that there would be no dilemma, Serbia's position that Serbia would fulfill what it said it would, but that it would not support Kosovo's membership in the UN and in specialized agencies and institutions of the UN. And that I clearly informed all those who participate in the negotiations, and the other side, both Borrell, Lajcak, Scholz, Macron and Blinken and everyone on the planet with whom we talked," said Vucic.

He conveyed to the journalists he told the guest from Sweden that he sees a political trick constantly being played in the media - that it is important for the Albanians to start the process of forming the ZSO, "then I guess Serbia should immediately fulfill everything they can think of... it doesn't work like that."

"It goes like this. Today is 10 years since (the signing of) the Brussels Agreement. You form the ZSO (Community of Serb Municipalities) with meaningful powers, when you do that, and Serbia has always kept its word, as it did after the Brussels agreement and will in the future, Serbia will fulfill its part of the job. But there can be no games around that, you have to fulfill it and only when you do, we will then fulfill our part," he stressed.

According to Vucic, we may do something unilaterally as a show of good will, but that has nothing to do with the obligation of Pristina to fully meet the obligations it has accepted.

"So, only then should we do everything else, because this is an obligation that was not accepted in February or March of this year or in November of last year, it is an obligation that has existed since April 19, 2013," stressed Vucic, referring to the Brussels agreement and the formation of the ZSO.
