„We agree that it is very important that peace and stability must be preserved, and on the Serbian side, I promised that Serbia would behave responsibly and seriously and I said what lies are coming from those who talk about some kind of invasion, war, as we are not even considering participating in such things,“ Vucic told reporters at the Presidency after the meeting.
He said
that his and O’Brien’s views differ on the issue of Kosovo, Metohija and
Srebrenica.
He thanked
O’Brien for saying that the Community of Serb Municipalities is an “important
and powerful obligation” that Pristina must fulfil.
„That
obligation has been strong for 11 years”, he said, arguing that it is being
ignored and that “they have been lying to us for more than 4,000 days”
He stated
that Pristina did not implement anything from the Brussels Agreement, while
Serbia did, and even implemented certain things from the Ohrid Agreement.
„They
weren’t interested in any of that, it didn’t oblige them, they just imposed new
problems on the Serb population – from the abolition of the dinar, and put us
in a position where we propose a solution for how we’re going to pay out euros,
and they won’t even do that,“ said Vucic.
He also
cited examples of daily arrests and beatings of Serbs, as well as the fact that
„everyone – the State Department, NATO, the EU and everyone else“ is silent on
all this.
„But well,
that’s why they will be rewarded with membership in the Council of Europe and I
told Mr. O’Brien that Serbia – we know we are small and that the US is a world
power – Serbia will resist this violence against the Serbian state and people
and will fight. If we lose – we lose, what else can we do,“ he said.
When it
comes to the UN resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica, Vucic said that they
discussed it for a long time and that he is particularly concerned about that
issue.
„I know
what it means and how it will disrupt relations in the region. Don’t forget, it
was made as a decision of one people against another people within Bosnia and
Herzegovina itself,“ said Vucic.
Vucic
argued that the issue of that resolution was illegally moved from the Security
Council to the UN General Assembly, stating that it belongs in the Security
Council. He stressed that Serbia will object to it in the UN.
„I told
O’Bryan to his face everything that is important for our citizens. How
difficult what is happening is for the Serb people“, said Vucic.
