"There'll be no EU referendum regardless of any initiatives"

Asked "about reports Russian President Vladimir Putin is using his influence in Serbia to push for a referendum there on the EU," Vucic replied: "I don't know anything about Putin but I know that some Serbian parties are openly calling for that."

"We won with an absolute majority. We'll do everything we can to reach this goal now. If we were to leave this path, Serbia would end up going the wrong way," Vucic, who is the leader of the SNS party, said of the April 24 parliamentary election, ahead of which "he made clear that his goal was to join the EU."

Vucic then spoke about "a lot of stupid and dangerous ideas in Serbia" adding that if there was a crisis here, "there would be a crisis in the whole region - old conflicts could be opened up again."

"Decisions like those on the accession negotiation chapters nurture the nationalist forces in the country, especially because we performed better than all the others in the previous stages," he said.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
