Vucic: I am concerned over Kosovo-Metohija, Kurti provoking conflicts
BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday he was very concerned over the situation in Kosovo-Metohija, especially in the north of the province, and that he had told EU special envoy Miroslav Lajcak that his concerns were due to Pristina PM Albin Kurti's need to provoke incidents and conflicts.
Vucic met with Lajcak at the Presidency of Serbia this morning.
At a press conference after the meeting, Vucic said Kurti had "an incredible passion in his desire for some kind of war, a conflict in which he would be the great Albanian hero."
He added that Kurti's most recent move - seizure of land owned by Kosovo-Metohija Serbs - was contrary to even Pristina's own regulations.
"All the things they are doing are so bad that I have no words to describe them," Vucic noted.
He said he was concerned because Pristina believed it could seize offices by force.
He noted that he was particularly concerned over the fact the Quint states were playing naive because sometimes a 3 pct turnout was enough for them to declare elections legitimate, while "sometimes even 50 pct is nowhere near the legitimacy they want."
"So much for principles," he said.
