President Aleksandar Vucic on June 26 said that Belgrade would do everything to ensure food supplies for the citizens in North Kosovo, but declined to present any further details.

“We are going to do what we can, but I will not say what. We will not allow our people to starve, although many would wish this. And not only those in Pristina and in a part of the world but also here, in central Serbia,” Vucic said when asked to comment on a reported shortage of consumer goods in North Kosovo.

Vucic also remarked on Kosovo Premier Ramush Haradinaj’s statement, saying that Pristina had banned goods from Serbia also because it feared Belgrade could ship arms or drugs together with food.

“That is an example of the subconscious mind. It is unbelievable. I could be pondering that for one hundred years, but would never come up with such an idea, and it was the first thing that occurred to him. Shortages pose a serious problem and we will deal with it... And if you ask me whether I am expecting anything from the international community - I am not expecting anything. As for the West, we have always been the side to carry more blame, because we have not recognized Kosovo’s independence and everything else is only consequential to that fact. We have to consider the ways of how to help the Serbs and we will do that,” Vucic said.
