Addressing the Parliament with the Kosovo issue on the agenda for the first time in almost seven years, Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic warned that if there was no compromising solution, Serbia would lose everything and could only wait for the Albanians to attack the local Serbs, but failed to explain what that compromise was, N1 reported.

However, he added he would not allow “the pogrom and persecution” of the Serbs. “We told that the international community and General Milan Mojsilovic (the head of the Army of Serbia) informed the NATO Commander about that,” Vucic said.

“As long as I am the President, I’ll do my best to, if the taxes (Kosovo introduced on goods from Serbia and Bosnia) are annulled, to find a compromising solution which would take care about the safety of our nation, protect the property, but also take care about Serbia’s interests,” Vucic told the MPs, members of the Government, Kosovo Serb List political leaders, loyal to Belgrade, and some diplomats in his two and a half hour address, during which he did not say what Belgrade's plan for Kosovo was.

Vucic said Serbia's people would have a final word on a referendum on Kosovo issue, and if the result would be contrary to his plan, he would resign immediately.

Cedomir Jovanovic, the leader of the Liberal-Democratic Party, told Vucic he should be a statesman who should look into future, and asked him to reveal his plan for Kosovo.

“I cannot tell you what our plan is because of the other side. That does not mean that the plan does not exist. I could have listed every place, village, but I couldn’t because we are not alone in that, we are not the only ones who will decide,” Vucic answered.

He added it was possible that “we don’t reach a compromise at all (or) in the next five, ten years, and that would have catastrophic consequences for both the Albanians and the Serbs.”

“If we don’t accept a compromise, we’ll lose everything,” Vucic said, adding that without a compromise “you can only wait for the Albanian attacks.”

He then thanked Russia and its President Vladimir Putin, to the loud applause in the hall, for help in “bringing and not bringing some documents that were mostly against Serbia.”

Vucic also thanked China for its investments in Serbia and also to those countries that did not recognise Kosovo independence.

Earlier, Vucic spoke about the history of the Kosovo problem.
