Serbian President Alexander Vucic held meetings with Russia’s ambassador, Alexander Chepurin, and Chinese ambassador Lee Manchagan. The topic of conversation was the statements of the authorities of the self-proclaimed “Republic of Kosovo” about the formation of its own army by December 14. True to the purpose of these actions of Pristina, as Belgrade is sure, is the pressure on the Serbian population of the disputed region.
“It is absolutely clear that plans to form an army, like taxes at a rate of 100% on products from Serbia, are aimed at driving out the Serbian population, since such measures make it impossible to survive,” Vucic said.
According to the Serbian president, such behavior of Pristina can lead to a catastrophe. Vucic turned to Russia and China to use their position in the international community and help maintain peace and stability.
