During the gathering to mark the Statehood Day in Zubin Potok, Vulin noted that Serbs are the only nation in Europe whose cemeteries are desecrated, whose children are targeted by bombs and who are being arrested, beaten and imprisoned on their religious holidays.
“Serbs must not be the only nation in Europe to be deprived of the right to decide where and how they would live and in which territory they want to stay. Serbs must not be the only nation in Europe without the right to their own voice,” Vulin said.
Pointing out that Serbia has existed for a long period of time, Vulin stated that all previous agreements would be respected but that Serbia will not reach an agreement which would be detrimental to the Serbs in Kosovo and the country itself.
He called on the Serbs gathered in Zubin Potok, including the guests from ten municipalities from central Serbia, to stand united and forget about differences and parties and to oppose decisions being made without their voice.
Serbia's institutions will not be annulled and we have come forth with the platform and resolution on Kosovo-Metohija and we can discuss the country's future and the future of the nation only if the international community understands these two documents, he noted.
“There is no lasting, just and sustainable solution without the will of Serbia and Serbs in Kosovo, and there can be no fair solution for Kosovo without Serbs,” Vulin stated.
