"We know what they are doing, we wish them no ill, although they have recognized Kosovo, although they will vote for Kosovo's accession to UNESCO," Vucic said.
The president added that he would support any "difficult decision" made by the Serbian government if he thought they were right to make it, and recalled "the case with France."
"It was the same with France, nothing happened, but at least we saved face," said he.
Vucic also said that he would "speak openly" during his telephone conversation with Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev on Wednesday, and that "relations between the two countries will be - not so great and not at the highest level - but they will be decent."
"And how did I know that he would change his mind about UNESCO ... Dacic told them, he told them exactly, and that's why I say again that they know what kind of things we know."
Vucic added that Dacic - Serbia's first deputy prime minister and foreign minister - is doing his job well, "because he works in the interest of Serbia," and noted that "not everyone has to like it - we are not here to be liked by somebody but to do protect the interests of the state."

What are you talking about? Bulgarians are the kin of Macedonians. Not Serbs. Bulgarians are our family, Serbs are okupatori. We have returned to our family, thanks to Zaev.

Sam, do you know you are talking to someone who has spent most of his life in Australia? Obviously not.
BTW, Pauline is not a joke. One Nation is gaining followers all the time. People are sick of Muslims and the terror they inflict.
Liberals and Labot are losing ground to people like Pauline and Cory Bernardi.

The Albanian intent is to create a just and shared country with Macedonians, where both main groups are equally respected and protected by the law. How is that evil? Serbia's intent is to push the Macedonians and Albanians to kill each other and destroy the country. THAT is evil.

Do you think Serbs are the kinfolk of Macedonians? Obviously not, if you refer to Macedonia as fyrom.
Or are you one of those "Serbs" from Tetovo area in Macedonia who is really a Macedonian but thinks he is a Serb because you had a great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather who once had took his sheep to graze over Shar Planina into Kosovo?
The only "kinfolk" that Zaev and his administration betrayed are the Macedonian people, not any Serbs...

Aura you are right but you know what neither is Serbia a free Country either
it isnt for one second....everyone is pitted against each other and Serbia blames Macedonia for all its problems it needs to stop doing that

Must accept the reality that Yugoslavia does not exist anymore and you have no power anymore in the Balkan so get real and move on with your life.

Why is anybody surprised that FYROM is voting with the siptars? They stabbed their own kin folk by signing with the bulgars and are ready to accept the Greeks to name them.

No genti, you are just projecting what Albanians with CIA are doing in Macedonia, dreaming of greater Albania to control the balkans. Evil plans indeed.

"Macedonia will vote for UNESCO, so our relationships won't be great, but they will be good. We wish them well. We pulled our staff because we wanted to save face. Same thing happened with France, nothing happened, but we saved face."
Hahahahaa! Serbia is the laughing stock of the Balkans. You guys are clowns. Your embassy staff was pulled because they were spies with evil plans for Macedonia. They got caught and that's why they had to leave for their safety!

Macedonia is not a free country.Do you not know how E.U. and there Master works you are just an ass and you will do what you are told.If Serbia goes with E.U. and there master it will do likewise

Macedonia is a free country and can vote for who ever it likes. Vucic thinks he can flex his muscles. Nobody is interested in the threats coming from Serbia. Macedonia must and will protect the interests of its own citizens and the interests of its western neighbours.
(Pauline Hanson, 23 August 2017 10:11)
Pauline, very insightful comment. Thanks for sharing.
(lol, 23 August 2017 12:15)
Pauline. Macedonia a free country? Give me a break. It is now run by Jess Baily and the CIA and does exactly what it is told. And how is Vucic flexing his muscles? He is just stating what everyone knows. Get a grip of yourself. Macedonia is not independent in any shape or form.
