Aleksandar Vucic, the President of Serbia, said that there would be many things that would not be easy if the Albanians accepted to form the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities, stressing that Serbia would not hide any of these things from the people.
Vucic said that the result for Serbia would be good in the end, during his address to the citizens before the meetings with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti in Ohrid.
“If the Albanians accept, and I doubt that they will form the CSM, there will be things that are not easy and simple for us and I will not hide any of them from people, but in the end, the result for our country will be good and that is the most important thing and that is why I call on the citizens to be smart enough and wise,” Vucic said.
Vucic said that the CSM had to have the competencies prescribed by the principles signed in 2015 in Brussels.
“The CSM should connect the Serbian communities, i.e. 97 per cent of the Serbian communities into one single whole. There will remain some outlying enclaves, but the CSM will connect the area from Sirinicka Zupa to Novo Brdo, all the way to Gracnica, and all four north. In the agreement from 2015, it is clearly said that Serbia had the right to finance the prescribed competencies – health, education, rural and urban development, spatial planning, and economic development. When you have that, you have much greater security for our people. No one can abolish payment transactions, so you can’t pay salaries, as is the case today,” he emphasized.
Vucic said that what had been signed had to be fulfilled.
