Asked how Serbia would react if Pristina embarked on a campaign to get countries to recognize it as independent - which has been announced by the Turkish president, all in light of the Washington Agreement - Vucic said:

"That lasts until September. If anyone decides to recognize Kosovo, we will immediately launch a campaign for withdrawal of recognitions."

Vucic added that he respects Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, that we want to have best relations with Turkey, but that we have our own country, our own interests, and will act in accordance with those interests.
