He stated that this morning he spoke with the Serbs in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and asked them to persevere in the fight for law and justice, and to do so, above all when it comes to KFOR, in a peaceful manner.

"As they did yesterday and the day before yesterday, it's important for us to continue trying to make some people understand that 3.4 percent (turnout) does not make an election legitimate and that they do (Pristina) should not impose their will by force and should not send special police forces (to the north) and should not harass and persecute the Serb people," said Vucic.

He added that today he will also have meetings with Scholz and Macron, as well as many other prime ministers and presidents.

"We will try to do our best to get things back to normal and de-escalate, and whether that will happen - it takes two to tango and it doesn't depend on us alone," said Vucic.

Pristina's provocations met with real condemnation by the US for the first time

He said that the US is not changing its course towards Kosovo, but that Pristina's actions towards the Serb people have been condemned by that country for first time and that he expects the same from Europe, and announced that he expects Miroslav Lajcak and Gabriel Escobar to arrive in Belgrade next week.

Asked whether the US is changing course towards Kosovo and whether they can influence Albin Kurti, Vucic said that even a child would not be able to accept that conclusion because it is quite clear who is responsible and guilty for a specific situation.

"But if you ask me strategically, of course nothing in particular in that overall attitude towards Kosovo and the situation in the region will change. However, it is important that, if nothing else, at least they can hear us. When someone has been going too far for months and is unable to do anything except provoke the Serb people - this was the first time that met with real US condemnation, and I am grateful to them for that," said Vucic.

He said he hopes that this will be the case with the EU as well and added that, however, he is sure that it will not be the case with all of them.

"But we don't have God knows where to go. Next week I expect the arrival of Lajcak and Escobar in Belgrade. And the situation is much more complicated. The problem with this is that we could have predicted what happened three days ago in Kosovo, and did predict it, but we could not prevent it. It's a problem when you see that things are going in a bad direction, and no one can prevent it because there is stubbornness and irresponsibility, then it represents a serious problem that is not easy to solve," stressed Vucic.
