The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said this evening that the proposal for a resolution on Srebrenica, which will be discussed by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), is the idea of Germany, which was supported by the most powerful members of NATO, including the USA, but that the result of the vote will not be as it should be. The West expects.
"The Germans played that game in the UN General Assembly, the Americans joined them. They expect that the Western bloc with the support of the Islamic countries can secure a secure majority and thus deal an additional blow to the Serbs and Serbia. The Germans do not hide that this is the case. But the resistance to it is getting bigger, they calculated that they would have at least 70 to 90 votes for, 60 to 70 abstentions, and 20 to 30 against. There won't be such a result," Vučić told Pink television.
Vučić said that North Macedonia is also one of the co-sponsors of the resolution declaring July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica, "based on the decisions, above all, of the Albanian leadership."
"But it doesn't matter whose leadership's decision it is, it's about North Macedonia, I thank them for that, I guess we deserved it with everything we did for friendship with North Macedonia," said Vučić.
DON'T MISS IT
He stated that the initiators of the resolution "tried to find someone on every continent" and added that they found Rwanda, New Zealand and Chile, as well as several countries "that have always been sponsors of all such projects such as Malaysia and Jordan".
"I also saw Austria, it was a personal decision of (Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander) Shallenberg. Nothing special and unexpected, considering what Shallenberg would do against Serbia, although he will say that he is doing it for the benefit of Serbia," said Vučić.
He said that tomorrow morning in Belgrade he will have an "important and difficult" conversation with the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien, and that in the afternoon he will fly to New York, where he will meet with representatives of more than 120 countries.
"If they have more votes for (the resolution) than against, which is likely, the day after its adoption we will raise the Serbian flags and walk on our and the world's streets even stronger, firmer and more determined and with our heads held high. Only voting in the UN General Assembly will show you where we really are lies the truth despite all the pressure from the Germans and the Americans," Vučić said.
