Serbian President Aleksandar
Vucic has sent a letter to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French
President Emmanuel Macron, and other European leaders denouncing
the illegality and procedural violations of the ongoing process
for Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe.
Breaking the news on Friday, Finance Minister Sinisa Mali
said that this issue is not the only one behind Serbia's intense
pressures, which are a source of great concern for President
Vucic.
In the coming weeks, she noted, a resolution on the
Srebrenica genocide will be voted on at the U.N. General
Assembly, which is causing new tensions between Belgrade and
Sarajevo. At the same time, pressure from the international
community grows on Serbia for its refusal to adhere to sanctions
against Russia. "I have never seen President Vucic as concerned
as he is now," Mali said.
Belgrade strongly opposes a possible entry of Kosovo into the
Council of Europe, and yesterday, Vucic said that Pristina's
admission would, in practice, mean Serbia's exclusion from the
pan-European organization.
The president added that on Monday, he would send his
representative to the United Nations with a letter for the
General Assembly presidency pointing out several procedural
violations related to the planned resolution on Srebrenica.
Serbs and Bosnian Serbs argue that there was no genocide in
Srebrenica. They are critical of the willingness of part of the
international community to place the stigma of 'genocidal
people' on the Serbs.
