Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has reiterated Serbia’s position on Kosovo, stating that Belgrade has no intention of using military force to reclaim what he described as “territory belonging to Serbia.”
Vučić made the remarks on April 14 during an event marking the Day of the Special Operations Unit of the Military Police and a visit to a new training and accommodation facility at the “Vasa Čarapić” barracks in Belgrade.
His comments came in response to statements by former Croatian Defence Minister Anto Kotromanović regarding regional security dynamics and Kosovo. Kotromanović suggested that Vučić could have considered military action in Kosovo under certain geopolitical scenarios involving Russia.
Rejecting such claims, Vučić said Serbia has never expressed an intention to use force, while accusing critics of defending what he called an “illegal order” contrary to international law and UN principles.
“It is good that they openly say they are defenders of an order established against the United Nations Charter and Resolution 1244,” Vučić stated, referring to the UN framework related to Kosovo.
He further added that Serbia would not resort to arms but argued that such statements reveal the intentions of those opposing Serbia’s position on Kosovo.
Vučić continues to maintain that Kosovo remains an integral part of Serbia under the Serbian constitution, a stance frequently reflected in his public statements.
