The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said, commenting on the Resolution of the European Parliament (EP) on the elections in Serbia, that it will remain an "eternal shame of the opposition".
"Resolutions come and go, but their shame will be eternal because this is not done against one's country," Vučić said on February 9 in New York for Pink television.
The European Parliament voted a resolution demanding an international investigation into alleged irregularities during the elections held last December in Serbia, as well as the suspension of European funds, if it is proven that the authorities were directly involved in voter fraud.
Ahead of the vote on the resolution, a panel titled "Serbia: Democracy at the Crossroads" was held in Strasbourg, in which representatives of the opposition coalition "Serbia Against Violence" participated.
Vučić accused the members of that coalition of "trying to come to power as puppets of a foreign factor".
Vučić also assessed that the Resolution of the European Parliament on the situation in Serbia after the elections was "neither the first nor the last".
461 members of the European Parliament voted for its adoption, 53 were against and 43 abstained.
Otherwise, the resolutions of the European Parliament are not legally or politically binding for member states and European institutions.
According to the official results, the ruling Serbian Progressive Party of Aleksandar Vučić won the December elections at all levels.
However, during the election day and in the days that followed, part of the opposition, as well as international and domestic observers pointed to a whole series of serious irregularities.
Meeting with the President of the UN Security Council
The President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić met in New York with the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) Antonio Guterres, with whom, he says, he analyzed everything that was at the extraordinary session of the Security Council of the United Nations (UNSC), which concerns Kosovo.

"I think the SC session was important for us to see the difficult position we are in, not because of Pristina's behavior, but because of how differently a significant part of the world thinks from what we think," said Vučić.
The extraordinary session of the UN Security Council was held on February 8 at the request of Serbia, and following the decision of the Central Bank of Kosovo that from February 1, the euro will be the sole currency for payments and transactions, which in practice means the abolition of the Serbian dinar.
