(VIDEO-LIVE) He did not want to participate, Vucic changes his mind and says openly in front of EU leaders: I will tell you the reasons why I came. We are near Russia!

The Summit of EU leaders is taking place today in Tirana. 27 European leaders come together in the Albanian capital. President Aleksandër Vucic is also part of this Summit, he said; "we remain committed to the issue of dialogue and negotiations with the EU".

"There are a number of different issues. There are some official reactions about Kosovo, the issue of dialogue, this was the main reason, but after consultations within Serbia I decided to come and today we will have an opportunity to say what we think here. We remain committed to the dialogue and the EU integration process", said Vu?i?

Focusing on Kosovo, Vucic said that he is committed to the issue of dialogue. He accused that in 1999 and 2008 injustice was done against Serbia in terms of its territory.

"We decided to come to discuss all issues. We remain committed to the issue of dialogue and negotiations with the EU. We must protect our state interests in accordance with our Constitution. Have you heard any optimistic statements from me? I am a realist and I am here to learn from many people, the Europeans and in the end to explain the position of Serbia and I believe we will receive good news. Be requires greater harmonization, please be patient. This means that it is important to get the support of the EU. These are good signs for all our countries. I believe today we will hear about the EU strategy for the future. The EU has demanded full harmonization, Serbia is an independent country, we know our obligations. We have a different situation regarding the territorial integrity of Serbia in '99 and Serbia is very close to Russia, Serbia is an independent country, if someone says that we are close to Russia, it is a reason to criticize someone when you have nothing to write about. It is easy to expose all kinds of accusations of falsehood, fake news, but the truth comes out. Serbia is an independent country, it is on the path of the EU," Vucic continued.
