Vucic added that in spite of this, he will not give up the fight for that solution and he is willing to participate in the process.
After talking with EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell, Vucic recalled that he discussed with him the missed chances and what could be done, including the proposals to reach a compromise solution.
"There is no one who at the time did not utter the worst abominations about me and Serbia, and even the Albanians. It is as if this question does not concern us and the Albanians, and only concerns us. But we were the only party that was not allowed to decide about anything. They all lectured us on the opening of Pandora's box and about implementing a different solution. When I ask them why they opened this box with the recognition of Kosovo's independence in 2008, and the 1999 bombing, I did not get an answer. There is no answer and there will be none", he said.
Vucic said that Serbs must get used to the fact that other nations regard them as losers and someone who has to pay a high price for the 1990s, in order to become part of the civilized world.
"What we can accept in the end - it is up to us to decide, but it is in our interest to accept the compromise", Vucic said.
He reiterated that Serbia had done with wars because it had too many casualties in the wars in the 20th century and that it is of utmost interest to preserve peace.
"That is bottom line. Economic progress cannot be achieved without peace and stability. We exceeded Bosnia-Herzegovina in salary growth and managed to catch up with Montenegro, although we were € 150 behind. But that does not mean we should accept humiliation", he said.
I'm sorry, but I don't call those savages "civilized world" any more.

Don't ask me to condemn USA if my Social Security depends on them. Simple economic reason: I need money to survive. Today, all my money comes from US of A. I do not see change anytime soon.
The past was equally gruesome anywhere. Ivan IV with his henchman "Malyuta" Skuratov was not from Salvation Army either.
But US of A has excellent PR department. No one else mounted lies on lie as successfully as they. The difference between USA and Russia is merely that Russian lies are more clumsy.
Don't expect me to condemn Russia either, but at least I am one of the few here who is morally allowed to b*tch both of them the same time.

Ataman,
talking about kleptomania doesn't change the fact that most gruesome things in last several centuries were done by same "civilization". Decimating "red Indians" in North America, then kidnapping millions of blacks from Africa to bring them there to work as a slaves, power hungry leaders from Napoleon, to Hitler, to modern days....concentration camp, gas chambers....it's endless list.
I'm sorry, but I don't call those savages "civilized world" any more.

What can we do if the deck is stacked against Serbia. Survival is of utmost importance for Serbia. It is up to us and us only since we have no dependable allies. We cannot go on indefinitely as we have been doing as we continue to fall behind with each day. It is time to make a deal no matter how humiliating it will be. Our children can not fill their stomachs with pride.

Yes oh mighty Albo LOL. its got to the point where your Albos in Kosovo are stealing food from Serb farmers, not to sell but to survive. Perhaps your masters the US might throw you a cent or two; or maybe not since they do not care.

I am waiting for Vucic to address Serbia telling them that it's time to face the bitter truth. His whining has increased dramatically since Grenell's visit.
(Just saying.., 2 February 2020 16:11)
100% impossible. The bitter truth would sound something like this:
"There is no sight of peace and prosperity anywhere on Balkans. In countries which are part of EU everyones tries to run away to the West. In countries which are not, the Great Powers meddle everywhere.
Unfortunately they do that using second-class, recycled politicians which shows that there is absolutely no priority regarding people. All they need is the territory and power.
The only good time in the area was under dictator Tito who at least had their respect. Today we are a dozen of little countries living on the edge of poverty. Thanks to the nationalists of 90-s who, including myself, still rule.
We all understand it well, our only goal is to sell you the idea of European Union, Russia, USA, NATO for own self-enrichment purpose. And it works"
Just dreaming, here you go again..... How long have you been barking on about Serbia recognising the false state....? How many years have you been saying that "soon.....blah, blah, blah...?
Albanians are desperate now because 17 revokations in recent years, America over $23 trillion in debt (and losing interest in Albanians), still no visa free travel, still no UN membership and other organisations, still mass unemployment in Kosovo and a lot of poverty, still run by narco mafia and human organ trafficers, still huge corruption, etc.
Ye, just keep dreaming.....LOL....
