Vucic "respects Juncker," but "can't stand false symmetries"

"I'm not going to say anything because I greatly respect Juncker. I don't want to say anything about the content of the letter. I cannot stand it when everything is being equated and when false symmetries and balances are being made, I think that all honorable people have difficulty standing that," said Vucic.

The prime minister also said this was being "passed over not because we are weak, but because we are strong enough to care about our future."

"This is also the answer to the dilemma of why we will not respond to Croatia, or anyone else. They have called our people and our state, not some politician, 'a handful of miserables', and we remained silent to that as well," he recalled.

Vucic then concluded that he would "certainly win the most points with a brutal response," but that he would not do that, because he wants "to care for the future."

In his letter sent in early August to Juncker, EU High Representative Federica Mogherini, Commissioner Johannes Hahn and EP President Martin Schulz, Vucic pointed to the situation in the region and the need to maintain peace and political stability.

In his response on Wednesday, Juncker stressed that good neighborly relations and regional cooperation as well as reconciliation are the fundamental principles that must be respected by all candidates for EU membership and potential candidates, but also by all member states in the region.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic reacted to this by accusing the European Union of continuing to bury its head in the sand.
