Rada Trajkovic, a Serb political figure from Kosovo, stated on Jan. 4 that the voters of the Serbian Progressive Party and Aleksandar Vucic viewed getting 10,000 dinars in aid as more important than the status of Kosovo.

Trajkovic told BETA that Vucic had corrupted the electorate and that it turned out that the majority of Serbs were not firmly committed to the national (issues). “This petty social corruption, which also happened ahead of the previous elections, enables Vucic to obtain support for realizing any project that is damaging to the state of Serbia. That is a massive danger for us and, on the other hand, the international community views this as Vucic’s numerical strength, i.e. that all projects that suit them, although they are against the interests of the Serb people, can be realized by corrupting the impoverished people,” Trajkovic assessed.

In her words, the majority of Serbia’s population is so impoverished that they lost part of their dignity.

“It is more important for the pensioners and the people barely making ends meet to get 10,000 dinars in aid from the republic budget, than the fate of Kosovo and Metohija is. It is inexplicable that even the Serbs from Kosovo, who suffer the terrible consequences of Vucic’s disastrous policy and who know who killed Oliver Ivanovic, vote for those whom people with dignity would never vote for. The essence of all our problems is the fact that Vucic’s corruptive and mobster apparatus is buying votes,” Trajkovic stated.
