"Serbia follows moves made by Germany, Austria, Slovenia"

Commenting on the closure of the Balkan route, Vucic said that Serbia was behaving in line with what was being done on the ground by Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia and would continue doing so in the future.

"We will treat the minimum number of refugees in our country in accordance with international public and humanitarian law, but showing our humane side, of course," said Vucic.

Vucic said that Serbia would continue acting responsibly, protecting the human rights of refugees, but it would not be a "parking lot or a collection center for refugees."

Vucic believes that even after this week's EU-Turkey summit, the EU failed to provide a comprehensive solution.

Asked to comment on Politika editor-in-chief Ljiljana Smajlovic's estimate that German Chancellor Angela Merkel "helped Serbia by closing the (Balkan) route," Vucic said he was "not an expert in big wide world issues, like some individuals in our country often are," but was instead "burdened by important daily problems in the country such as the danger of new flooding."

"Nobody either helped us or otherwise, we have been helping ourselves, while no misfortune has passed us by: from the fact all refugees from the Middle East passed through Serbia, to the fact that natural disasters have not passed us by."
