Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said that tectonic changes took place in Kosovo and Metohija yesterday, as well as the election debacle of Aljbin Kurti and Quinta.
“I didn’t accidentally say just Kurti, but all those who encouraged him and lied to themselves that the problem was in criminal Serbian organizations and Belgrade,” said Vučić.
“Secondly, this is a historic result because nothing similar has ever happened on European soil since the Second World War, for the turnout of a nation to be 0.029 percent,” he added.
This, as the president says, also showed the enormous unity of the Serbian people, the discipline and responsibility of the Serbs that has not been seen in modern history. “The Serbs behaved not only nationally, but also as a very strong people who know what pressures they are under, but a people who were ready to show enormous determination to oppose the Gauleiter in the most dignified way.”
“And under four, perhaps the most important message to us and the world is that we do not have an essential dialogue. We don’t talk, we get imposed papers that always have to go to Pristina, because Kvinta is the one who supports independent Kosovo and when you tell them that something is happening in the hearts and minds of people – they say Vučić ordered it from Belgrade,” he added.
He said at the press conference that his analysis of those tectonic changes will not be superficial and shallow and that it will not be reduced to saying that it is “the defeat of Aljbin Kurti and his regime – and that is unequivocal”.
“What happened yesterday was much more than that – the Serbian people showed yesterday that they are looking for a completely different approach from the international community, from the Western powers, that they are looking for greater respect, that they are looking for real dialogue, and not the imposition of solutions,” said Vučić.
He said that there are 1,345 more people in the voter list as of April 23 than two years ago in the local elections.
“So of the 45,095 persons on the voter list – 13 Serbs have left, and two say they left by mistake, but we are not going into the details,” he added.
Those 13 are 0.029 percent of votes, not a single Serb in Zubina potok took part in the elections, in Kosovska Mitrovica two people, in Leposavic seven and Zvečan four, says the president.
“What is interesting is that a significantly smaller number of Albanians turned out for the elections than in 2021”.
According to him, the elections were held in 13 containers that were distributed in the north, and nine Albanian candidates and one Serbian woman participated.
“At the polling station in the village of Lipljan in Zvečan, a member of the polling committee, an Albanian, appeared with a KLA tattoo. “Swiss ambassador Thomas Kelly also visited that place, I guess to show how democratic and peaceful it is, thanks to the involvement of the Pristina authorities,” said Vučić.
He added that at several polling stations – as many as six out of 13, no one voted – two in Zubin Potok, three in Zvečan and one in Leposavic.
“Kurti’s candidate in Kosovska Mitrovica won 519, and in 2021 he had 1.56 votes, which means more than twice as few. “All controllers were members of two families,” he said.
“Uprising of the Serbian people, nothing will happen in Brussels on May 2”
He also points out that the OSCE and the EU did not monitor the elections because, as he said, they know that the Serbs are boycotting.
“They didn’t have time to visit the polling stations from the EU Office and the Quinte countries, I guess so they wouldn’t see any irregularities,” said Vučić.
He also assessed that the uprising of the Serbian people took place yesterday:
“I don’t trust you to swear anything, and I trust everything to our people in Kosovo and Metohija… They say that yesterday everything was peaceful in Kosovo and Metohija, it was, but because the Serbs wanted it that way… Yesterday there was a political uprising of the Serbian people in Macedonia and Kosovo, a peaceful political uprising, because the Serbs will not tolerate imposed solutions, cruelty, mistreatment, shooting for the sake of praise from Brussels or Washington,” he said.
Vučić also pointed out that a difficult period is ahead of us.
“We don’t need a conflict with NATO, but we will not allow attacks on our people,” said Vučić and added that nothing will happen on May 2 in Brussels. “They will dilute everything and blame Serbia when they think of it,” he says.
He confirmed that he will go to Brussels on May 2 for a new round of dialogue.
Vučić said that he did not accept the European agreement for Kosovo, but that he supports the concept and implementation of that plan “up to certain limits.” “I have never accepted any agreement. You don’t have any of my statements that I accept, but that I accept the concept and that we are ready to work on the implementation of the agreement up to certain limits,” Vučić said, as reported by the Beta agency, in response to questions from journalists after a televised address to the citizens.
“We will vote against the so-called Kosovo in the Council of Europe”
“We will vote against the membership of the so-called Kosovo in the Council of Europe and don’t lie and deceive us anymore”, said Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić today and added that he is addressing those from Europe and the world who think they have the right to interpret things the way they want, not the way it is written, that they lie and deceive us.
“I want to thank the Serbian people in the north of Kosovo and Metohija because they were patient and tolerant, because they knew that this was the interest of the country, they endured the presence of the occupying forces in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, who did not throw a single stone at them, did not look at anyone with a frown, but they and by force of will showed that they are not a handful of oats and that they will not humiliate them. This is how the leadership of Serbia will behave,” said Vučić.
