He was responding to journalists, who wanted to have his comment on Russian historian Elena Guskova's statement that "the opening of a dialogue leads to the recognition of Kosovo."
"Serbian politics is run by Serbian leadership in accordance with Serbian national and national interests," Vucic said.
"It's good that there is participation in the dialogue. We welcome this. It is good that we hear every opinion, from those we heard from Mr. (Vojislav) Seselj, with (Tsar) Lazar's curses, to (former President) Tadic, with a chair in the United Nations (for Kosovo, without formal recognition) - you heard at least three different proposals from (members of) the government, and it's good that people have opened up to talk about what they think. Then we will sit down with the citizens and talk about what is possible, and what we must not lose," Vucic said.
In addition, Vucic stated today that Serbia does not want to be a member of any military alliance:
"We're not even discuss NATO, at all. Serbia does not want to be a part of any military alliance. Serbia has its own army. The question, do you want to join NATO? No. Do you want to join CSTO? No, we don't want to enter CSTO. We have the Serbian army and it will be strengthening. Stop conducting Serbia's policy from all sides. We will not enter NATO, thank you. We will not enter CSTO, thank you."
"Everyone expects Serbia to be take sides," he added.
"Serbia is not sitting on two chairs, as some claim. Serbia has its own, Serbian chair and nobody else's. We are choosing our own path to the future," Vucic underlined.
According to him, Serbia is "more than ever exposed to various pressures from different sides."
"Nobody is satisfied with the position of Serbia, because it is an independent state and takes care of its interests, under conditions of a growing conflict between great powers, when more than 750 persons are being expelled from diplomatic missions, so the sharp rhetoric is understandable," Vucic said.
What freedom? Your kind is dying out and dissappearing. You have no control over Kosovo nor its citizens. We can do what we want in Kosovo. Serbia cant. You are the biggest losers in world history. A failure of a race and culture. Gypsies with no history that came from the carpathian mountains. Fear what will happen in Presheva valley instead. Kosovo is already a closed chapter. You lost. Now time to lose presehva valley as well.......

Kosovo was never yours to begin with Albanians have been there for thousands of years. No matter how much it eats at you, you were nothing more than migrants who hadn't figured out how to farm and were gifted lands in the Roman Empire to repopulate and maintain on behalf of the natives. You were the refugee crises of the early Middle Ages faced by a dying superpower. No more calling the area Kosovo that is an ugly Slavic name, the country will for ever be Dardania a proud Illyrian tribe that fought in the legions of Rome and the ranks of mighty Alexander the Great. Slavs were nothing more than poor serfs, born from the rape and massacres of Vikings and Germans.

President Vucic is a little confused!!!
Resolution 1244 don't give him right to speak like that!!All deal must be in rezolution 1244.That mean ,Kosovo is a part of Serbia and can not be diferent.After bombing, Serb,Albanians and EU politicians,also American,SIGN that rezolution which garante Kosovo will stay in Serbia.Nobody respect that!!!That can make haos in justice for all world!!!
He become president becouse people of Serbia select him,not becouse he is good,becouse the other was worse than he is!!!
His problem is that he think he is Tito,I mean in his eye's he is big president,but in eye's of Europian politicians he is someone who can't predict two hours forward.
Big people are visionars and they know how future will be!!
When Vucic put egg's in hot water,he don't know when egg's will be ready to eat.So if we have president like that,we can predict how our future will be!!!
Good bless Serbian people to be strong like out father was,to fight with any enemy and win for freedom!

If doesn't mean recognition what do you think will happen? Kosovo will never be "part" of Serbia. Kosovo was given to Serbia by great powers and "taken away" by the same powers. Forget Kosovo and think about Vojvodina, Sandzak, Presheva Valley.

Get ready for the abandonment/gifting of Kosovo. Ever since the spineless Vucic returned from the US, Kosovo is appearing in the forefront once again. For him to disregard what the Serb society thinks and to forge ahead on his own is betrayal and treason. He will supersede Tadic, Djindjic et al for a defunct organization whose own members are seeking to exit. And to give away territory to boot. Wow!! It's time to discard one chair and go with the country that supports Serbia in every aspect and not the one that has bombed us and wishes to dismember our country. This is not why you got re-elected for you piece of sh*t. It doesn't require a rocket scientist to secede territory. You were elected to fight, as you call it, for Serbian interests.
