Vucicc said that difficult past aside, Serbs and Croats would share the future. "I am not talking about a joint state, or similar nonsense, but Serbs and Croats will have to be much closer and work in unison, because that's the only way for them to survive," Vucic said.
When asked if he considered a lack of top-level political contacts normal, as his Croatian counterpart, Zoran Milanovic, said that he would not meet him until Serbia fully disclosed information on missing persons, Vucic said that Milanovic had the right to do so, and that Serbia was not hiding anything.
"I want every unaccounted-for Croat to be found, and I don't want to hide a single criminal. I don't want to justify myself to anyone. If someone thinks that we may be hiding reports for whatever reason, that says more about them than us. I don't think that President Milanovic is among them," Vucic said, adding that Serbia was prepared to permit searches or excavations at any location that Croatia might think contained the remains of missing persons.
