President Vučić pointed out that Serbia supports the activities, efforts and intentions of Miroslav Lajčák to reach a solution through a policy of compromise, without ultimatums and imposed resolutions. He also stated that Serbia participates in agreements and negotiations in good faith, seeking understanding for its state and national interests, and not only for the national interests of Albanians.
"In accordance with that, we believe that compromise and agreement mean - not everything for all and enough for everyone. It is our obligation to be responsible, serious and engaged. It is important that Serbia does not set deadlines because it is much more important that we make an agreement and that both sides are satisfied with it," said President Vučić.
