BELGRADE Serbia's First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said that the government "must try everything to get a date for the start of EU (membership) talks." To achieve this, Vucic added, it is ready for "difficult compromises." Vucic: We are ready for difficult compromises The leader of the ruling SNS party spoke for Belgrade's Vecernje Novosti daily after a meeting on top state officials in Belgrade on Wednesday, held after the latest round of the Kosovo talks in Brussels. In the wake of the failed round of negotiations on Tuesday, the state leadership is now considering the sequence of its future steps, Vucic stated. "At this point I truly do not see a solution, but we are looking for it feverishly. Serbia must try to get a date for the start of EU negotiations and to be ready for difficult compromises, but it cannot in any way accept its own cancellation," he was quoted. Late on Wednesday, Vucic spoke for RTS to day that Serbia was facing "a dramatically difficult situation because it was offered the choice between agreeing to a very bad plan for Serbs in northern Kosovo and Metohija and refusing to sign any kind of agreement with Pristina and the EU." Vucic added that Belgrade "needs to send a response to Brussels by Tuesday" and say whether it can or cannot accept "certain points". He stressed that "an agreement must be reached regardless of a date for the start of membership talks in the EU," and that "difficult decision follow". "We will have to choose between two horribly difficult things... Something that is nor our plan and that we don't have on paper, related to northern Kosovo... For us it is certainly very bad, I will not lie to the people that this is about something wonderful. We did not go to Brussels to ingratiate ourselves with anyone, but to represent our people. It is far from what we had in mind," said Vucic. Vucic leaves the Presidency on Wednesday (Tanjug) B92 RTS Tanjug Vecernje novosti
