Petkovic: Jeremic tripped up his own country by unsuccessfully trying to harm Vucic

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, responding to the request of the President of the People's Party, Vuk Jeremic, to call a referendum on the Franco-German plan, pointed out that convincing the citizens of Serbia that the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina was not in their interest was the same as saying that war was better than peace, regression from economic progress, and self-isolation from cooperation with the world.

Petkovic stated that Jeremic also knew this well, but that he was trying to score political points in this way.

"Vuk Jeremic knows all this, but in him, immoral opportunism wins over common sense, and that is why he is trying to score some political point, tripping up his own country and unsuccessfully trying to harm President Vucic in his fight to protect national interests. And when it comes to the referendum, on which Jeremic would have passed just as he passed in the elections, the Serbs in the north of Kosovo and Metohija had a kind of plebiscite last weekend and on that occasion showed that they unanimously support the state-building policy of their president, Aleksandar Vucic," Petkovic said.

As he stated, the citizens of Serbia, and especially the Serbs in Kosovo, knew who was fighting every day to the last atom of strength for their secure future.

"As they know who Vuk Jeremic is and how many of us he has blackballed in the past with his dilettantish and anti-state political activities," Petkovic pointed out.

According to him, Belgrade and Pristina are a light-year away from the normalization of relations.

"Thanks to the refusal of another immoral opportunist, Albin Kurti, to enable the formation of the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities, this is attacked by failed politicians like Jeremic every day. However, whatever Jeremic proposes, not all the media in the world can help him wash his political biography made up of affairs, scandals, and anti-state action," Petkovic concluded.
