A spokesman for the People’s Party, Stefan Jovanovic, said on April 5 that a referendum on the “Franco-German agreement on Kosovo,” which his party had proposed, would defeat Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and his politics.

In a comment for the Nova.rs portal, Jovanovic said that only citizens, voting in the referendum, could stop Vucic’s “self-willed surrender of Kosovo and Metohija,” the People’s Party quoted the spokesman as saying in a press release. Jovanovic said that “Vucic, intoxicated by power, thinks that he’s invincible, much the same as his political partner, Milo Djukanovic.”

Jovanovic also said that Vucic was facing “a radical shift in the Kosovo policy he has been advocating publicly,” and that by accepting “Europeanism” and “peacemaking” he’s trying to obtain the same kind of support the West had assigned to Djukanovic, defeated in a recent presidential vote in Montenegro.
