I kind of play chess but I'll be honest I don't understand Vucic. What's his point?

Monopoly, Chess, snakes and ladders what ever metaphor you like. It still won’t change the fact that Kosovo is independent running its own affairs and has been for over a decade.

Little Sloba and little Seselj are making up stuff as they go.

If chess metaphors will be used then at least use the right one for the situation. Serbia is in “Zugzwang” meaning it’s Serbia’s move and they would prefer not to make a move because they are at a disadvantage. Serbia is in the endgame and they are losing. It’s a matter of time before either Serbia surrenders or is checkmated. I’m actually rated in the low 1600’s in chess, find me at Chess.com if you would like to play. Serbian Snowflakes are welcome to play, however the heat that I bring will most likely melt you. Snowflakes don’t like heat. :)

Shouldn't he be looking for win-win instead of lose-lose solutions? *SMH*
Why does he keep saying that Serbia keeps losing and losing. Last time I checked you are the first in line to join EU.

What kind of a president speaks like this about their country and says this type of ridiculous nonsense?

Actually, the president who wants to be honest.
This has been the point from 2008 but they had to find a way to tell people if there was another solution I am sure they would have taken.
I am looking for an opinion of my friend SJ and Staff what they think of this, ( I am not trying to be controversial but I would like your honest opinion). It is important if we visit to keep it civil and discuss ideas instead of Azir or Draguljum monologs full of hate of and Victory dude.

@ bibaloaj - Plazma keks is the BEST, LOL!

I agree best keks ever, maybe it has a special coating to remove nationalist aspirations that we can give to all politicians in Balkans.

There’s already a stalemate. It’s called recognize or no EU. You’re trying to reinvent chess by not recognizing a stalemate when it’s already happened.

He then compared the situation around Kosovo with the game of chess. "We are playing without the queen and the rook, and are trying to manage a stalemate. To drive our king into the corner, while their pawns don't let us move and manage a draw. So far we have only been losing and nothing has been on our side. We are trying for that draw today, to get back to the board and continue the game in a concentrated way, without the queen and the rook," Vucic has been quoted as saying.

Now wait for 1day or 3 and Vulin or Dacic will bounce with strong rhetoric, we won't change a letter from agreement we will a,b,c....!
He stated yesterday that is better our children's future than our ancestors land and that condition for a binding agreement (or contract as he called it) has been in place since 2008 but Serbian politicians did not tell people.
Also claimed Serbia has a chance or there will be a wall like in Macedonia or Turkey I dont know what has gotten in him (plazma keks, we should feed all that).

What was played 10 years ago and everybody knows the winner. The spectators went home long time ago, even the cleaning ladies finished with the clean up. Only Vucic and some Serbs remained in the room thinking about where the lost the game, but nobody else cares.

Don’t forget u are playing without the king.
He died in Hague.
Tha game is over...move on.

Vucic, always trying to be so philosophical about matters.
It's simple; Don't play chess. In chess someone always looses.
Play a different game where a win-win is the final outcome. Either that or nothing.

I am very confused with Serbs politicians specially with President Vucic and Dacic they both have just confirmed they are playing games with peoples lives and specially with Kosovo but one thing is that Vucic have managed to create this fear among the People or peace or big wars and no future of Serbia and Dacic is no stopping trying to change states decisions on recognition of Kosovo.Oposition in Serbia they all support Independence of Kosovo.Tow things out of this President wants peace and Minister wants war or both aiming for something that we will find out soon.I have feeling that they aiming for Full regeneration of Kosovo independence and autonomy for Serbs in Kosovo.Apart from full recognition there is 0% chance for anything els as Kosovo people and western Countries have paid huge price to come here.

It is poker, not chess. Where Serbs and Albanians are just by-standers.
