Vucic: It would be easy to criticize Schroeder

Vucic and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder are currently discussing geopolitical issues and the bombing Serbia.

Asked by Marc Walder, director of Ringier, what his memories of the bombing period were, Vucic said that it was certainly a bad decision and said that we must forgive, but that we cannot forget.

"It would be easy to criticize Schreder and say that it was a bad decision. Many civilians were killed in NATO bombing, innocent people, we must forgive, we cannot forget, but we have to continue. We need to create an economically prosperous country. We all want to see progress, and you Marc know that figures show that we are making excellent economic progress," the Serbian president said, Blic reports.

The question for the former German chancellor was that 20 years had passed since the NATO bombing, and what led them to take that action against Serbia, Schroeder said it was a very emotional decision.

"First the decision on Iraq was made, we had to decide whether to participate or not. The other difficult decision was that we had to accept the intervention in Afghanistan. Together with NATO partners we had to decide to attack Serbia. It was a very emotional decision, but we had to decide to participate in the bombing after considering the whole situation in Kosovo," Schroeder said.
