Vucic: It is better to buy time than to give up on what you must not give up on

BELGRADE - If you are trying to achieve compromise but see that that is impossible and that you have no other way out, then you must buy time - even that is better than giving up on what you cannot and must not give up on, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday at a ceremony that marked the 182nd anniversary of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU).

A tête-à-tête meeting commenced at the Palace of Serbia

Prior to conducting a tête-à-tête meeting of the two presidents, the President of Armenia and the delegation that he heads, which includes Foreign Affairs Minister Artak Apitonyan and numerous businessmen, attended a ceremonial welcome in front of the Palace of Serbia, with the Guard of the Serbian Army, a red carpet and the sounding of the anthems of the two countries.

No more memorials to "conquerors, war criminals, terrorists"

From now on, the state, rather than individuals will be deciding on who to honor with monuments, the daily Vecernje Novosti writes.

Among the memorials that will most likely be removed is a plaque in Novi Pazar dedicated to Acif Efendija, and a memorial to the so-called Liberation Army of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedje installed in the town of Presevo.
