BELGRADE - After separate meetings with the EU special envoy for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak and US Ambassador Christopher Hill, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday he would make a public address within the next 72 hours to announce Serbia's demands following a brutal attack on Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija, especially in the north of the province.

"And what the so-called international community has not fulfilled, what Serbia wants and what Serbia will do," Vucic said.

He noted that important and far-reaching proposals were expected to be tabled to the Serbian parliament in October.

"We will have many important meetings and we must fight for Serbia's position in the world and seek allies. We will do all that is possible," he said.

Vucic said Pristina's PM Albin Kurti wanted to destroy and expel the Serbs from Kosovo-Metohija and that this was clear to all - not only Belgrade.

"When 5,800 jobs are abolished and when, only due to illegal, criminal and unlawful decisions by Kurti, people can no longer do anything that everyone in the modern world can, you have to take actions that will lead to certain rights being restored, to what would be called status quo ante," he said.

Only verbal condemnation, and no evident actions, have come from Europe and Quint states, Vucic noted.

He said Belgrade was always open to dialogue with Pristina and that he was ready to go to Brussels to continue the dialogue with Kurti.

"But Serbia is not ready to, and will not, allow a pogrom and expulsion of its population," Vucic said.
