Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin threatened the Balkans with a redrawing of borders under the "Serbian World" plan, BGNES reports.
"The Balkans will be safe and peaceful only when Serbs are united and stable. The Serbian national question in the Balkans cannot be solved partially and individually, but only by Serbs being a whole, that is, a united political people," President Aleksandar Vucic's right-hand man was quoted as saying by the Serbian official newspaper Politika.
Aleksandar Vulin directly threatened the sovereignty of Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Croatia.
"We will remind the whole world that Serbs are unique. Serbia does not intend to forget the Republika Srpska, nor the Serbs in Montenegro, nor in North Macedonia, nor in Croatia, nor the Serbs wherever they live," he said.
Vulin stressed that after many decades of wandering, "Serbs have once again become a united political nation" and "together will take important decisions for survival, regardless of where they live."
"My message is - we are one, we are aware of the challenges that lie ahead, and we will not allow them to divide us and set us against each other, as they have in the centuries behind us," said Vulin, who is a senator in the Republika Srpska.
Regarding the reactions against the All-Serbian Council from neighboring nations, Vulin said, "They can only feel envy if they cannot bring all their compatriots together. They should not feel fear because the Council is not directed against another nation."
The deputy prime minister pointed out that the division of Serbs from this or that republic or state must stop from the moment the All-Serb Council was held in Belgrade.
"This (the Council) is good news for the Balkans because when Serbs are stable, when Serbs are united, when Serbia is strong, then the Balkans are secure and peaceful. This is not directed against any nation, but it is the use of the right of Serbs to be a united political nation and to take decisions together on the most important issues related to their own survival," he said.
Referring to the UN General Assembly resolution on the Srebrenica genocide, Vulin said the adoption of the document "the true intentions of its authors are now coming to light."
"Now you see, especially in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian public, where there is a lot of writing and talking, how they suddenly say that the Serbs committed genocide. They have forgotten that thesis about the responsibility of individuals, now they are saying that the Serbs committed genocide, that the Serbs must be held responsible, that the Serbian leadership is trying to change history," the Serbian deputy prime minister said.
"This resolution was tabled with the false idea that it would contribute to reconciliation and stabilization in the Balkans. The atmosphere in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is now boiling over, where Serbs rightly feel hurt and offended because they were called a 'genocidal nation'," Vulin added.
Serbia's deputy prime minister sees instability in Montenegro and North Macedonia.
"The government of Montenegro is "on the verge of collapse" because its representatives voted in favor of the Resolution, even though "this is in absolute contrast to the wishes of the vast majority of Montenegrin citizens, not only Serbs, but the majority of citizens," Vulin claimed.
"You have a problem in North Macedonia, where the functioning of the state is threatened, where the newly elected president says she was not consulted in any way (about Skopje's support for the Resolution). So, you have complete instability in the Balkans itself," he continued.
Aleksandar Vulin also attacked Croatia: 'We should not forget Croatia, which has already started to get angry at the adoption of the Jasenovac resolution, although when they adopted the Srebrenica resolution they asked, "is Serbia even mentioned in the text?".
"They failed to separate Serbia from Republika Srpska, they failed to convince Serbia to say that the resolution on Srebrenica is actually a resolution about some evil Serbs from Republika Srpska. This is an attack on the entire Serbian people," the deputy prime minister noted.
Vulin said that those who supported the Srebrenica resolution will demand reparations from Belgrade if they succeed in removing President Aleksandar Vucic.
"They will not succeed either in this or in the separation of Serbia from Republika Srpska," he vowed. | BGNES
