The president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), Miloš Vučević, stated today that Pope Francis was more than fair to the Serbian people, stating that he "did not give in under enormous pressure to recognize the so-called Kosovo as an independent state."
"You will see that with the new pope we will have much greater challenges on this issue," Vučević told TV Pink, saying that one of the most powerful cardinals, who was visiting Belgrade, said that the question is what position the Vatican will have on Kosovo after Pope Francis.
Vucevic explained that Pope Francis was correct regarding the canonization of Alojzij Stepinac and in agreement with the Serbian Orthodox Church that this should not happen.
"These two things must not be forgotten. Pope Francis was fair to the Serbian people, at least in these two topics, and if we do not mention them, we will sin against God and the truth," Vučević emphasized.
