BELGRADE The most important thing is for the local elections in Kosovo to go through in peace, Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said ahead of the second round on December 2. He also stressed that any other outcome would be at the expense of the Kosovo Serbs and Serbia, which would have to pay for the consequences of irresponsible behavior. "Serbia lost nothing with Brussels agreement" "It would be good if those who agree with the views of the Serbian government won the elections, so we would have no problems in communication and planning a joint policy," he told Radio and Television of Serbia on Wednesday. The first thing after the vote will be to implement the agreements concerning the police and judiciary, followed by creating a statute for an association of Serb municipalities and setting down all the details related to its operation, he noted. "Serbia lost nothing in the Brussels agreement with Pristina, and the Kosovo Serbs gained the option of creating the association of Serb municipalities," he stated. "Only those who run a realistic political agenda will succeed, and not those who start fights they cannot win," the prime minister remarked, adding that "an individual can afford such opportunism, but nations must not expose themselves to such danger." Commenting on the mutual genocide lawsuits filed before the ICJ by Croatia and Serbia, he said "that thing will likely reach the ICJ, because Croatia has no courage to make a step forward." He rejected the criticism that he was "making a turn in Serbia's foreign policy policy toward Russia and China," saying Serbia should act no differently than other European countries, which, as he remarked, are standing in line in front of the "Beijing" and "Moscow" windows. "I did not say we would not enter the EU, but that I would be happy if such projects were also offered to us in the west," said Dacic, and added that a government "that led Serbia the farthest in the process of EU integration" is being accused of foreign policy oscillations.

"Serbia lost nothing with Brussels agreement"

"It would be good if those who agree with the views of the Serbian government won the elections, so we would have no problems in communication and planning a joint policy," he told Radio and Television of Serbia on Wednesday.

The first thing after the vote will be to implement the agreements concerning the police and judiciary, followed by creating a statute for an association of Serb municipalities and setting down all the details related to its operation, he noted.

"Serbia lost nothing in the Brussels agreement with Priština, and the Kosovo Serbs gained the option of creating the association of Serb municipalities," he stated.

"Only those who run a realistic political agenda will succeed, and not those who start fights they cannot win," the prime minister remarked, adding that "an individual can afford such opportunism, but nations must not expose themselves to such danger."

Commenting on the mutual genocide lawsuits filed before the ICJ by Croatia and Serbia, he said "that thing will likely reach the ICJ, because Croatia has no courage to make a step forward."
