President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic said that during his conversation with the President of the Socialist Party of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, it was stressed that the state is more important than all personal relationships.

"It is up to us to lead the state in a decent way, because the state is above of all personal, private and partisan interests, and we agreed that it will be like that in the next six months," Vucic told reporters in Kursumlijska Banja, where he attended the opening of the reconstructed hotel Planinka.

When asked about the message of the leader of the Oslobodjenje ("Liberation") movement, Mladjan Djordjevic, that only Ivica Dacic could "put Vucic in Zabela (prison)" - the president of Serbia said, "when someone (like Djordjevic) wishes you the fate of Gaddafi, what can you expect."

When asked to comment on the statement of the US ambassador to Serbia, Christopher Hill, that the situation in the Balkans is not so bad, and if people are disappointed - they should look at North Korea, Vucic said that the statement was taken out of context.

"He didn't that Serbia will be (like) North Korea, that was taken out of context," he said.

According to him, it is still possible that there is a "hidden message."

Vucic added that one can never fully expect a change in US policy.

The president mentioned that he will continue to fight by working, as people could see in the Serbian Assembly.

Regarding the falsehoods expressed by the extreme right, he said, "If people like to listen to fairy tales and lies, I can't change that."

"It is up to us to work, and you say what you want. This is a free country and everyone can say what they want, unfortunately," said the president of Serbia.
