LIVE Vučić addresses the nation: "I think this is just the beginning"

"It is very difficult for me to address the citizens, probably in the worst mood in the last ten years," he said.

"The crisis in Ukraine is also affecting Serbia," he added.

"The whole world has become different and literally nothing is the same anymore," he said.

"Tectonic changes have taken place on the world stage, and Serbia is in an extremely difficult situation and there is less understanding than ever for the position of Serbia and our people anywhere in the world," he said.

"It is not a question of our principles and the correctness of our work, but of the circumstances that have brought us into a difficult situation. There is almost no representative of the big countries with whom we have not talked," he said.

"Serbia is facing enormous pressure and the fact that few people want to hear your argument, then it is clear to you how difficult our position is," he added. "I think this is just the beginning, the pressure on our country will be huge in the coming period," he said.

"I expect that there will be several traps for Serbia in the coming period." "You saw that the Albanians applied to join NATO, you saw that they received the support of a force like Turkey," he said.

"Some of the next initiatives will be the exclusion of Russia from the UN," he continued.

"They plan to initiate a dispute on the basis of Article 6. Then it opens the door to change Resolution 1244, after which we no longer have a legal basis, and the recognition of Kosovo's independence will follow," he said.

"The second part of the problem follows, further endangering Serbia's economic interests. Serbia has kept its position in the previous days. Out of a total of 13 acts, we voted for 4, we could not vote for nine. These are declarations that meant imposing various sanctions on Russia," he said.

"We have always joined the condemnation of endangering Ukraine's integrity, we believe that this is the responsible position of Serbia. Our position will be even more difficult because our economy is growing the fastest in the region and Europe," he said.

Vučić should inform the citizens about the latest events, plans and measures that the state intends to implement.
