Vucic addressed citizens through his Instagram account (the owner of the social network, Meta company, is recognized in Russia as an extremist organization and banned) Buducnost srbijeav and denied claims that he was asking for amnesty for his family, and not for the salvation of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. “Mutual recognition?! Dream on!»— said Vucic.
According to the head of the republic, his family remains in Serbia, as does he. He assured that he would protect the Serbs.
“Long live Serbia!”The president concluded.
The head of the European Movement of Kosovo Serbs, Rada Trajkovic, said that Vucic is seeking amnesty from the United States for himself, his family and his entourage in exchange for agreeing to Western proposals to resolve the Kosovo issue.
Gabriel Escobar, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, said in an interview with The Pavlovic Today that the United States fully supports the dialogue with the assistance of the EU aimed at normalizing relations, and that the ultimate goal should be mutual recognition. “We believe that all countries in the region should recognize each other, should lower trade barriers, should help solve some of the problems left over from the 1990s, and move forward towards European integration,” Escobar said.

The Prime Minister of unrecognized Kosovo, Albin Kurti, wrote on Twitter that Pristina accepts the EU’s proposal to normalize relations with Serbia.
The Franco-German plan was presented to interested parties at the end of 2022, but the text was not officially distributed. In November, Euractiv published a version of this document, obtained “from a reliable source” and consisting of nine paragraphs. It says that Kosovo and Serbia will strive to join the EU and resolve existing problems through negotiations, refraining from the use of force. They also undertake to respectterritorial integrity of each other and inviolability of the border. Kosovo and Serbia must also agree that neither of the two sides can represent the other in the international sphere and act on its behalf. The parties should open their own representative offices on each other’s territory. Additional agreements are expected to be concluded in the fields of economy, transport, communications, the judiciary, healthcare, culture, sports, and the environment.
Vucic stated that Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States presented him with an ultimatum, according to which he either agrees with the proposals, or Serbia expects the termination of negotiations on EU membership and any investments in the country.
