Kosovo: Vucic, 'disappointed' by German foreign minister

Maas, support for Pristina despite anti-Serb duties

26 February, 12:44
(ANSA) - BELGRADE, FEB 26 - Serbia's president Aleksandar Vucic has criticized the German foreign minister Heiko Maas, who said that Germany intends to continue to fully support Kosovo despite the 100% import duties imposed on Serbian and Bosnian imports. The minister told the daily newspaper Stuttgarter Nachrichten that Germany wants a European prospect for Kosovo and is, therefore, determined to help the country. The reforms implemented by Pristina, he added, are impressive, and this result must be taken into account. ''What Maas said is really disappointing'', said the Serbian president, objecting to the efficiency of the reforms adopted in Kosovo.

''They (the Germans, ed) are giving support to the child they have given birth to, along with the Americans'', said Vucic.

According to Serbia's president, the interests of Germany are obviously more important than the interests of a liberal market that envisages the free movement of people, goods, and services.

The president added that he intends to reconsider, along with the government, Serbia's policy with regard to Kosovo, even in light of messages sent and stances taken abroad. (ANSA).
