Vucic: If EU message was that we have to recognise "Kosovo", that will not happen

BELGRADE - If Brussels's message at the end of the electoral campaign in Serbia was that we have to recognise the so-called Kosovo, that will not happen, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday.

"If they wanted to say Serbia will have to accept 'Kosovo' as independent, I am telling them it will not, but they might find some people who will accept that, so maybe their guys will win. It is completely clear when you look at the foreign foundations that have been paying certain parties, but they will say it was not for the elections, but for projects," Vucic said in an appearance on K1 TV, in a comment on conclusions adopted by the EU General Affairs Council on Chapter 35 in Serbia's EU accession talks.

"We need unity of policy above all - not unity of political parties, but a single policy we are pursuing, rather than five, 10 or 20 policies. We need diligent people who know how to govern a country both in difficult situations and in situations that are not so difficult," Vucic noted.
