Vučić: I'm afraid it will get even worse

According to him, dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina will continue as soon as on May 13. "Our position is difficult, terribly complicated. President Putin's statements made it even more complicated. I will talk about it tomorrow. I am afraid that it will be increasingly difficult in the economic aspect," he said.

Vučić also said that the situation for Serbia, not through our fault, has become very difficult.

Vučić also said that last night's informal dinner with EU Special Representative for Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajčák and Prime Minister of the Interim Institutions in Pristina Albin Kurti was very difficult, and that German representatives insisted that what was signed in the Brussels Agreement must be implemented.

When asked if he could reveal some details of that meeting and whether there was a shift, Vučić answered that he did not like to talk about details, but that the conversation was "very, very difficult".

"Talks will continue. The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petković, is going to Brussels on May 13 to try to agree on something", said Vučić.

He also pointed out that the problem for Belgrade is that some refuse to talk about the Community of Serbian Municipalities at all, but that it is important that all German representatives said that what was signed must be implemented.

"Now you see that what we were criticized for becomes our point of support, and that what they said was bad for us, now others do not want to align," said Vucic. And, as he said, it is pointless for him to talk about the details, because he does not want to collect political points in that way. "My job is to fight for Serbia, and I will continue to do that," Vucic said. After the meeting with the head of German diplomacy, Vučić said that he had talked with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, at whose invitation he was in Berlin, and discussed all important issues with the Minister, such as the European perspective, the crisis in Ukraine, and the situation in Kosovo and Metohija.

"The talks were not simple, but I am satisfied with the great interest of the German government in the talks with Serbia. That is important news," he explained. "It is important to talk to German representatives, because it is the largest and most important country in Europe. We cannot change Germany's position on the issue of Kosovo, it will not happen," said President of Serbia.

Commenting on the war in Ukraine and the position of Serbia, which is "between two fires", he said that the situation for our country, not through our fault, has become very difficult and the pressure on Serbia is great. Asked whether Serbia will make a turn in politics precisely because of these pressures, he said that Serbia is on the path of European integration and does not deviate from that path.

"We are militarily neutral and will remain so. On the third day of the intervention in Ukraine, we clearly stated our position, and no matter how difficult it was for 71 days, Serbia is in that position," Vucic said, adding that he always spoke clear and direct about it.

"We will continue to do our job, tomorrow I will talk about all the consequences of our attitude, all the problems and what our answer will be on that issue," he concluded, addressing the Serbian media, adding that he will talk to political parties in early June and consult on what people think.
