Vucic: I Am Proud That I Went to Potocari in 2015 and Showed Respect for the Victims

In response to a question about the fact that no one was held accountable for the attack on him in Potocari in 2015 and that attacks on him continue, Vucic said that this was logical because those attacks come from regions bothered by a Serbia that is growing, progressing, refusing to be humiliated, and refusing to kneel before everyone and apologize for everything.

Speaking to TV Pink, Vucic expressed his sincerest condolences to the families of those killed in Srebrenica and once again strongly condemned the crime.

"Once again, I extend my sincerest condolences to the families of the victims, and this attitude of strong condemnation will never change. That is what matters. That’s where we Serbs differ from others who have never said such things about Serbian victims and have never expressed condolences to the families of Serbian victims in such a way," Vucic said.

He pointed out that his most difficult battle was a little over a year ago at the United Nations (UN), during the vote on the Srebrenica resolution, describing it as a round-the-clock struggle.

"I’m proud of that fight and the entire team's efforts. It seems to me that I turned gray the most during that period. Those were difficult days in New York and elsewhere. We fought so hard that, in the end, I was honored when Zlatko Lagumdzija and Elmedin Konakovic said it was incredible what Serbia did and how Serbia fought. We had only one flag in front of us, our red-blue-white tricolor that we had to protect and fight for — and for our people. And we succeeded," Vucic emphasized.

He reminded that during the vote, Serbia managed to secure a clear majority against the resolution's text, as many realized it was a case of political manipulation.
