The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, addressed the nation on Sunday evening about the crisis in Kosovo in the show "Hit Tweet" on Pink TV.
He did not say anything about Serbia's next moves after the withdrawal of Serbs from Kosovo institutions, about how the Serbian state would react if the authorities in Pristina tried to fill the positions in the police and judiciary vacant after the resignations of local Serbs. He repeated a more or less well-known story, before turning to opposition politicians who "court foreign embassies" or "want others to die in their name in Kosovo"...
First, the president of the SNS and Serbia gave his historical overview of the events that led to the latest crisis: others are to blame for everything, and he fought without sacrificing himself for the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.
Vučić first explained that the Brussels Agreement, which Ivica Dacić signed on his behalf, brought Serbia 10 years of peace during which it achieved the highest economic growth in Europe, and as far as artificial insemination is concerned, only Israel is ahead of us.
He said that 96 percent of Serbs living in Kosovo enthusiastically support the exit of their representatives from Kosovo's institutions, that he had previously begged them in 20 situations not to do so, that they had listened to him because "they only trust him and only love him". , that he tried to dissuade them even now, especially as far as the judges and prosecutors are concerned, but that now they are simply fed up with their bullying and terror against the Serbian people, that he understands them and will stand by his people.
Serbs from Kosovo only trust him because they know that, says Vučić, "my spoken word is worth more than someone else's vow".
Then again a little about the hundreds of kilometers of highways built, hospitals, stadiums, salary and pension increases.
Well, about the hypocritical West, representatives of Quinta who "deceive" the public and "play silly" when they say that Pristina has the right to re-register plates from KS to RKS plates, and otherwise they, that West, just want the complete capitulation of Serbia, that there are no Serbs in neighboring countries.
He, Vučić, will be with his people no matter what happens, and he knows that in the end the EU and the USA will always be with "their 14-year-old child".
And then again a little about investments and - about the number of people who gathered in Belgrade on October 5, 2000: there were 70.000 of them, said Vučić, and on large public meeting in Kosovska Mitrovica 10.000, just so people know.
Vučić also said that the decision to withdraw from the Kosovo institutions was an "autonomous and autochthonous" decision of the Serbian people, and that he will not return to the institutions until Aljbin Kurti, who "pretends to be a mangup", withdraws his decision about the plates and the Community Serbian municipalities, and that he won't do it... And, again, Vučić didn't say, so what? But that they will not allow them to "kill our people".
Well, about prices, heating, liars and critics of him, that is Serbia, who "can't live without hatred", and so on.
