Vučić: Serbia pillar of stability in region

VIENNA -- Aleksandar Vučić says Serbia was becoming "a pillar of stability in the region" and was "doing its best when it comes to the negotiation process with Priština."

In an interview to Vienna-based daily Der Standard ahead of his Wednesday visit to Austria, the Serbian prime minister said that after the agreement was signed in April last year, much has been implemented, and that recently a final, very important agreement on the judiciary was reached.

Concerning the forthcoming parliamentary elections in Kosovo and Metohija, Vučić said that there is no doubt that Serbia has never called for a boycott of the vote, which is very important.

He explained that he was in talks with the Serb population in Kosovo, adding that a community of Serb municipalities will be formed over the course of the next month.

Vučić noted that his first visit abroad was a visit to Sarajevo, with a view to supporting the integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia-Herzegovina, although Serbia has special relations with the Serb entity, RS.

The Serbian prime minister said that Belgrade has excellent relations with Macedonia too.

"I believe that Serbia is becoming a pillar of stability, contrary to what it was before. We are doing our best to secure stability in the region and I am sure that we are doing a good job," he underscored.

Asked whether he is in favor of major EU enlargement through the entry of all Western Balkan countries, the Serbian prime minister said that our country is worse than others in many aspects, but also better in many fields, and that he would like Serbia to be assessed individually.

Serbia will do its best to complete...
