Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Aug. 19 that he had nothing against refugees, if, he said, they were truly refugees, adding that Serbia "will not be a parking lot for everyone coming in from the side."
Asked whether a wave of Afghan migrants was possible, Vucic said that they would not come to Serbia. "No one is coming here, I do not see this as a problem nor how this could be a problem for us. But let's not not show humaneness, where does all this xenophobia and hatred toward anyone coming from somewhere come from," Vucic said.
He added that he could not see the problem with the arrival of Afghan refugees in Pristina which was ready to accept them. "What kind of problem could one hundred or two hundred people be? Images of people falling out of plans is an image of the defeat of the modern world, the most horrific kind. How do you tell the child of a man who was so desperate that he attached himself to the wing of a plane and then fell off that you are not missing anything, we don't want you," Vucic said in Brus.
