Vucic: Permanent persecution of Kosovo Serbs Beta ~3 minutes _____ Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday that Belgrade will always stand by the Serbs in Kosovo where, as he said, they are permanently subjected to persecution, just like two decades ago, on March 17, 2004. Addressing at the National Theater in Belgrade a commemorative event marking the 20th anniversary of the “March pogrom” <https://n1info.rs/english/news/march-pogrom-twenty-years-since-organised-expulsion-of-serbs-in-kosovo/> against the Serbs in Kosovo, Vucic said that no one ever answered for that. “No one can ever deny us the right to the truth, we need it and we will not be silent on it,” said the Serbian President. He added that official Belgrade will always stand by its people in Kosovo. “In a world devoid of principles, the truth is the only bulwark,” said Vucic, adding that “we live in a world of violent snatching of the truth.” “When we ask for Serbia what applies to everyone in the world, they lash out at us saying that we are violent, that we are arming ourselves,” he said, adding that, in the 20 years since the “March pogrom,” Serbia has neither attacked nor threatened anyone, and has “often kept quiet.” “This does not mean that we will back down, we will continue to speak the truth,” said Vucic, stressing that what happened on March 17, 2004 was “well organized and coordinated,” in order to pave the way for an independent Kosovo. He said that, when it comes to Serbia, the world applies double standards. The president noted that the 2013 Brussels agreement (between Belgrade and Pristina, mediated by the European Union) enabled Serbia to prove it as a reliable partner, unlike Pristina. “They no longer mention it, now they talk about the Ohrid agreement, some of whose provisions we have implemented, while the government in Pristina has not implemented any of them,” said Vucic. He reiterated that Kosovo will always be part of Serbia and that official Belgrade will never recognize its independence. The event was attended by members of the Serbian Government, church elders, members of the diplomatic corps and families of the victims killed in Kosovo. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
