(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUN 2 - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said he expected an increase in international pressure on his country regarding the Kosovo issue. In an interview last night with the private broadcaster Happy TV, Vucic mentioned, in particular, the US and the EU, who are urging to find a solution. "According to them - he said - the only solution is the recognition of Kosovo's independence." In his opinion, the goal is to stop Serbia's economic growth. "It is not just about recognizing Kosovo. That is only part of it. There is another issue on the table, and that is to stop Serbia's economic growth," Vucic underlined. According to him, through Kosovo, the whole of Serbia is to be "destroyed." The president then reiterated both his country's stance of military neutrality and firm will to continue on the path towards integration into the EU while maintaining close friendships with Russia and China.

"We will not impose sanctions on Russia and China." (ANSA).
