Vucic: I will continue to fight for Kosovo Serbs by calling for peace, dialogue

NOVI PAZAR - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday he would continue to fight for Kosovo-Metohija Serbs through constant calls for peace and dialogue.

Vucic was speaking to reporters during a visit to Novi Pazar, southwestern Serbia.

When asked to comment on reports that a deadline for vehicle re-registration in Kosovo-Metohija was expiring tonight, Vucic recalled that EU spokesperson Peter Stano had said a November 23 Belgrade-Pristina agreement on vehicle licence plates specified no deadline and had no expiry date.

"We are fighting and doing what we can. Today, we received the EU's confirmation that we are right... What means do I have to prevent violence against Serbs except by constant, intensive calls for peace, dialogue, agreements, compromise and everything else," Vucic said.

"I will always fight and always be with our people, and I will do my best to help our people in Kosovo-Metohija, who are definitely under enormous pressure - politically and in every other way - from the Pristina authorities, which, due to their internal matters, cannot explain what they need to do, so they have to come out every day and speak against a Community of Serb Municipalities, plates and everything else," Vucic said.
