Vucic: I had many meetings, position of Kosovo-Metohija Serbs discussed with Lajcak

DAVOS - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday he had had many meetings in Davos, including, most importantly, with EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak.

Speaking to reporters, Vucic said he had pointed out to Lajcak that Pristina's PM Albin Kurti wanted to stop payments of salaries and pensions for Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija and that this would mean even more departures of Serbs from the province.

"I requested support for our people and that they be allowed to live in their ancestral homes," Vucic said.

He said his meeting with Bosnia and Herzegovina Council of Ministers Chairperson Borjana Kristo had addressed strengthening the cooperation between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and confirmed that Serbia would make an appearance at a Mostar international business fair.

"Flights will be established between Mostar and Belgrade and I will go there with our journalists," Vucic added.

He said he had also met with intelligence chiefs of the most important European countries as well as with representatives of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's office.

Vucic said he had also had a long discussion with Ukrainian FM Dmitro Kuleba about all matters concerning Ukraine's EU path.

"It was a useful conversation," he said.
