Vucic: I asked north Kosovo Serbs to persevere in peaceful manner

CHISINAU - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Tanjug on Thursday he had spoken with representatives of Serbs in the north of Kosovo-Metohija in the morning to ask them to persevere in their fight for law and justice, but in a peaceful manner, especially during encounters with Kfor troops.

"Just like they were doing yesterday and the day before yesterday. For us it is important that there are continued attempts to make some people understand that 3.4 pct (turnout) is not legitimate elections and that they should not be imposing their will by force or sending special police troops and harassing and persecuting the Serbs," Vucic said in Chisinau.

He said he would meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron as well as with many other PMs and presidents during the day.

"We will try to do our best to get things back to normal and to deescalate them, but will that happen? It takes two to tango and it is not only up to us," Vucic noted.
