Vucic discussed the situation in Kosovo with the Russian ambassador
In connection with the escalation of the situation in Kosovo several days ago, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic received the Ambassador of the Russian Federation Aleksandar Bocan-Harchenko.
According to the Serbian leader, it is good that Pristina, under pressure from international representatives, abandoned its original intention to provoke a conflict and lead the entire region to instability.
“Serbia will always stand for peace and dialogue as the only way to resolve existing issues,” Vucic said.
The Russian envoy, in turn, confirmed the position of official Moscow about the irresponsibility of Pristina’s actions and the need to prevent any possibility of escalation.
Let us recall that immediately from the beginning of the incident in the southern Serbian province, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a strict demand to stop provocations against the Serbian minority in Kosovo.
Vucic also had a telephone conversation with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. As a result, both interlocutors agreed on the need to continue the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.
The head of state also pointed out that Belgrade has never violated either the Brussels Agreement or resolution 1244. And with all this, a real war is being waged against the Serbs in the unrecognized state, including arrests and beatings of innocent people. All this is done to intimidate the Serbs.
Another interesting detail was that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who was forced to urgently interrupt his visit to Belgrade due to the deteriorating situation in Kosovo, said during a meeting in Tirana that the unilateral recognition of Kosovo’s independence violates international law and that Madrid can't accept it.
“We believe that this is a unilateral declaration of independence and we believe that international law has been violated, so we cannot accept it. We say this with all the respect we have for the Albanian people,” Sanchez said at a joint press conference with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.
