Vucic: Serbs are not asking for much, only what belongs to all civilized people in Europe

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, addressed the Serbian people before today's protest in Rudare, stating that it is a "great and democratic protest of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, from the north and south and all areas where Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija live".

"The Serbs are not asking for much, they are only asking for what belongs to all civilized people in Europe. Only the Serbs are denied what everyone else has the right to. To be free, to have the freedom of movement, to go to schools and hospitals, and to protect their lives and the perspective of their children. They are asking for the release of those who were arrested without any reason. They are asking for the withdrawal of those who came with long guns without the right to occupy northern Kosovo and Metohija," Vucic said.

The President of Serbia said that the Serbs were demanding "that the arrest lists created by the Pristina regime because the Serbs stood up to their terror be abolished."

"And for the return to their institutions, which is something different from the removal of the barricades, they are asking for the formation of the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities, which was the first condition in the Brussels Agreement. For all that, as the President of Serbia, I will always support them, and I will not hide from the great and powerful in the world, and when I say that, I will also be responsible enough to call them to preserve peace, to preserve composure, and patience because peace is in the greatest interest of the Serbs and Serbia and our people in Kosovo and Metohija. Long live the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija, long live Serbia," Vucic stated.
