Serbia managed to stand up to the biggest powers in the world

THE PRESIDENT of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said from New York that he and his colleagues did a great job for our country at the UN.

Vučić says that the pressure on small countries to vote for the Resolution on Srebrenica is becoming more noticeable and stronger.

– We are, after all, a small country and it is not easy for us to stand up to that, but I think that we did a great job for our country in the UN, we fought for our people – he said.

He added that many spoke about the need to consider further harmonization of positions, to work on consultations in the future, but that does not depend on them or us, but on the submitter of the Resolution.

– After yesterday’s meetings with the representatives of the countries of the African and South American and Caribbean groups in the UN, today I informed the countries from the Asia-Pacific group about our fight for truth, law and justice and to preserve the libertarian and proud spirit of the Serbian people. I warned of the consequences and irreparable damage that the adoption of the resolution on Srebrenica can have on the stability and future of the Western Balkans, respect for international public law, but also on the credibility of the UN itself, as a guarantor of peace and legal order in the world – he said.

He reminded that when Pristina abolishes the dinar, then Lajcak says that “neither side is ready to accept a compromise”.

– We will continue our fight in a difficult day. We are too small for the most powerful Western powers, but you can’t always win the truth by force. That still means something to us – added Vučić.

He explained that Slovenia leads a disgusting policy towards Serbia and the Serbian people.

– I said that the Slovenians were disgusting when they thought about the Security Council session, that was the topic and it was clear to everyone that it was referring to the individual who spoke about it and it was referring to their politics. But here, I’ll repeat, it’s not a problem for me, it’s certainly not the vocabulary that should be used, but I said humanly what I think about their policy. As for the Slovenes, the fact that they wanted to say that I said that about the Slovenes, no, I think the best about the Slovenes as a people. I have many friends, I have family, I have family in Slovenia. I took the fact that I should not come to Slovenia so often as a threat and I will reduce my visits to my friends and family, but if I offended anyone, I want to apologize to the entire public and the people of Slovenia, but not to politicians from Slovenia. Isn’t it terrible that they are sponsoring the resolution on Srebrenica, that they are threatening our territorial integrity? I will invite their president to Belgrade and Serbia if I need to apologize once more and say that I was not thinking of the Slovenians and their people – he said.

He points out that he had a bilateral meeting with representatives of Brazil.

– Now we have with Guterres, with Denis Francis, he is the president of the General Assembly of the United Nations, with the special advisor for the issue of genocide of the United Nations, with the representatives of Mexico bilaterally. There are many more dinners with five or six European countries, we also have a meeting, a dinner, which we can at least ask, so that they are not against us as most others will – says Vučić.

He says that the fact that something is an impossible mission and that something seems impossible to us, does not mean that you will not fight.

– Because what you protect and defend and what you swore to your people and your citizens is sacred to you, and the most important thing in life for you, and not fear of the force and power of those who are much bigger and stronger. But have we talked, explained to everyone, I have to tell you that in all groups there is a huge, huge reservation towards the procedure and the process as defined by some and many of our friends from Islamic countries even when they vote for, they are not happy because they know that by doing so they are hurting a friend, and I just want to tell you that I think we have done a lot in that regard and have additionally raised the reputation of Serbia – he points out and adds that many countries will abstain from voting on the resolution on Srebrenica.

He says that one representative said that it is unbelievable that such a small Serbia managed to stand up in such a way, that everyone in the UN only talks about it, and that on the other side are all the most powerful and biggest powers in the world.
