Serbian media cited Vucic, saying that he would \u201ctry to speak to Erdogan regarding this matter\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll try to speak to him [Erdogan]. Until September 1<sup>st<\/sup>, according to the Washington Agreement, both parties [Kosovo and Serbia] are obligated to not lobby on their recognition or lack thereof. If they [Kosovo] start this recognition action after September 1<sup>st<\/sup> or prior to it, we will nonetheless oppose it,\u201d \u2013 is how Serbia\u2019s Pink TV cites President Vucic.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian president called Turkey a \u2018great-power and president Erdogan \u2018a great leader\u2019, but on the other hand he pointed out that \u2018Serbia isn\u2019t that small that it wouldn\u2019t oppose this kind of lobbying\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerbia protects what is its own. This [the issue of Kosovo] isn\u2019t Turkish, it belongs to Serbia. The only thing that is left for us, is to fight for our country and our citizens. He is very strong, we are not, but I believe that he will soften his tone,\u201d \u2013 is how Pink TV cited the Serbian president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSerbia has its own borders and they are recognized by the United Nations and we are only interested in them, including Kosovo and Metohija, as parts of Serbia, in accordance with Resolution 1244. That\u2019s all. I won\u2019t ask forgiveness from anyone, never again,\u201d added Vucic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/07\/19\/kurti-i-proposed-a-six-point-declaration-of-peace-vucic-serbia-ready-to-discuss-on-anything\/\">Kurti: I proposed a six-point Declaration of Peace, Vucic: Ready to discuss on anything<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/07\/19\/vucic-makes-statement-before-kurti-meeting-giving-up-is-not-an-option\/\">Vucic makes statement just before Brussels meeting: \u2018Giving up is not an option\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/07\/13\/kosovo-buys-14-military-vehicles-from-turkey-vucic-expresses-his-reservations\/\">Kosovo buys 14 military vehicles from Turkey, Vucic expresses his reservations<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Serbian president, Aleksandar Vucic has declared earlier today that Serbia will oppose any possible new lobby working on the recognition of Kosovo\u2019s independence.
