“Although Serbia hasn't imposed sanctions, it also didn't recognise the breakaway regions, and Vucic was unhappy with Putin's explicit use of Kosovo as a precedent to justify the independent status of the Donbas. Serbia is also dependent on EU assistance, so that serves as a serious brake on any steps Belgrade takes toward Kosovo.”

“Serbia would have to abandon any EU ambitions if it acted militarily against Bosnia or Kosovo. But Vucic [Aleksandar Vucic] appears to have already given up on EU accession. The situation is dangerous. NATO needs to make clear that it will not tolerate Serbian mobilisation of forces against its neighbours, as it did last week against Kosovo, which has no army.”

“It is time that the international community, and first of all the EU and NATO member countries, see such a danger and prevent the Vucic regime from realizing its goal of creating the 'Serb world'.”

“This is a direct threat to people who are worrying about how they will provide bread for their children. We have also informed the [European Union's] special envoy [for Kosovo], Miroslav Lajcak, and asked for EU help. And I call on President Vucic [Aleksandar Vucic]: 'Vucic, react'.”

“Vulin's statements look like a not-so-washed-up version of the policy of Greater Serbia on the borders of Karlovac – Karlobag – Virovitica, which was propagated in the 1990s by Vojislav Šešelj, political father of the current President of Serbia. We all know what misfortune this politics brought to peoples of Yugoslavia, including the Serbs, so it is normal that such statements by the Minister of the Interior cause unrest among Serbia's neighbours in the region, but also strengthen nationalists in their ranks. Vulin fits perfectly into the role of a political chameleon, who went from the conceited Che Guevara, a member of the Yugoslav United Left led by the wife of dictator Slobodan Milošević, to his current version of a Serbia nationalist particularly fascinated by uniforms. The phrase 'Serbian World' is used as a counter-argument by some in the opposition, who accuse SNS [Serbian Progressive Party] and Serbian President Vučić of being ready for a compromise, according to which Serbia will, on one way or another, accept Kosovo's independence.”

“President Aleksandar Vucic needs to strongly rebuke his Minister Vulin, for his recent statements. Failure to do so confirms Serbia support of the policy of destruction of the Dayton Peace Accords, an ominous threat to Bosnia and Herzegovina who suffered from aggression and genocide 26 years ago!”

“It was rejected before it was read; this proves their unwillingness to reach an agreement. When our commitment to the missing was expressed to include the word 'dealing with the past', this was accepted by Borell but rejected by Vucic.”

“For years, President Vučić has managed to send the message that it is necessary to work on reaching an agreement, but also to calm those radical elements in society who are against reaching any agreement with the Kosovo Albanians. His political and social engineering is often reflected in the fact that members of his party and coalition partners often speak contrary to what he advocates in public presentations, which further confuses the public and calms the opponents of the agreement. In the coming period, we will probably witness the continued use of this model of communication. They (the attitudes) are often contrary to what the President is saying. However, the latest public opinion polls show that more and more citizens believe that a solution needs to be found to normalize relations between Serbia and Kosovo.”

“I see the process of normalizing relations between Kosovo and Serbia as the main factor of confidence in the region and an important element in resolving regional problems. That is why we want to achieve three goals at the same time; the first is to establish normalization of relations between the two sides; the second is to incorporate European values and rules and to bring the region much closer to the European future; the third is to contribute to regional stability. It is not an easy process, the solution will be a painful compromise, but I have no doubt that it is possible and worth it. I would like to thank my interlocutors, Vučić and Hoti, for their commitment to the dialogue and for their persistence in keep going, despite facing sometimes strong criticism at home. You are on the right side of history, and history will be able to recognize that.”

“The lower desks for Vučić and Hoti either side of Trump; also having them sat in front of his desk like school children being chastised; him signing some unknown, undisclosed paper whilst they sign their copies of the agreement; the almost exclusively male line-up. The overall performance sends a message to the people of Kosovo and Serbia that is mirrored by the content of the agreement: 'This deal is not about you'.”

“We achieved great things in Washington. I am proud of our country and the delegation led by President Aleksandar Vučić, how they represented Serbia in Washington and Brussels, how they negotiated the agreement and what Serbia got out of it. It’s a message to investors regarding how safe we are, how much investment there will be, what it means for the people and the economy.”

“The essence is that in the heart of the regime of Aleksandar Vučić, not only is there no political will, but there is not a shred of enthusiasm for anything that the Treaty on the European Union defines in Article Two as basic democratic and liberal values of the EU. What motivates the regime to maintain the facade of Europeanization is nothing but the mere fact that the EU members and the Union itself, and not Russia and China, are the largest trading partners, largest investors and largest donors of aid to Serbia. This has been shown during the COVID-19 pandemic. And the regime knows that without all these means, many of which are disappearing, similar to, say, in Hungary, in the pockets of structures and people close to the regime, it cannot be sustained.”
