Vucic: I will never recognise so-called Kosovo, lies about that have persisted for years

PARIS - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic reiterated on Friday he would never recognise the so-called Kosovo and noted that lies that he would do that had persisted for years.

"In the period when those who are saying I will recognise the so-called Kosovo as independent right after the elections were in power, 'Kosovo' was recognised by 85 countries, and since I became president of Serbia, it has been de-recognised by 27 countries," Vucic told reporters in Paris in a comment on claims he needs elections to recognise the so-called Kosovo.
