He said that Serbia incorporated its stands and requests in Platform, stressing that now is the time for other participants in the dialogue - the international community and the interim self-government institutions in KiM to take stands on the solutions presented in the document.

"As soon as the international community accepts that the solutions included in Kosovo Platform are reality and possibility for a lasting, fair and sustainable solution, we will be able to leave all disputes, doubts and fears behind us," Vulin said in Kosovska-Mitrovica.

Vulin reiterated that no one from Serbia will force citizens in the province to recognize and accept the self-proclaimed state of Kosovo, which they do not want.

Serbia is a serious state which will have to carry out even the things that it does not like, but it does not have to introduce anyone else in a foreign legal, economic and tax system, Vulin said.

Vulin called on all citizens in Kosovo to understand that the state of Serbia will have to implement even the agreements which it dislikes, but that this does not mean that it has given up on its citizens in KiM as it will not do that.
