The building of the Presidency of Serbia in Belgrade(BETAPHOTO/Ana Slovic/)
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Victory Day, May 9, that Serbia and the Serb people said no to fascism in the 1940s and will continue to do so in future.
In a video message posted on Instagram, Vucic said Serbs, "proud, patriotic and defiant, had to pay a much too high price for their freedom-loving, state-building impulse. "Serbia, the Serb people, wherever they may live, said no to fascism in the 1940s. To any future Hitler our capital will be the first to say no," Vucic said.
In another statement, Vucic said it is important to him that Serbia is on the path to join the European Union, but added that he does not take the calls of foreigners who want nothing good for the country. "I don't even pick up the phone for various foreigners who I know want the worst for Serbia," Vucic told reporters while touring the Srem District.
He went on to say that he has stopped discussing European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos because he has "nothing to discuss with those who lie about Serbia daily." Earlier this month, Kos said Serbia is regressing in many areas, and that Growth Plan payments were halted to the country as a consequence.
