the lead. story.

with the president to hear more about. thank you. but it's that beach serbian president thank you very much for being with us today thanks a lot i mr president it's been two years since because of us independence was recognized and back then there was a lot of talk about the don't know

a fact about the threat of destabilisation in the region and that none of that happened why do you think was it right to make such a fuss in the first place in the beginning of the domino effect is still existing as a threat for everybody not only in the region of southeast europe but also everywhere and from that reason i have a real concerns both to take into consideration of how we react to the army unit about the declaration of independence i think that we are trying to prevent problems. i mean should be a consistent policy that means we are totally against partition of all countries of the member states of united nations that means we are against partition of the countries that the existing in the region in that respect your fully supporting for example and integrity integrity of other countries. and in that respect we are contributing to the stability even though we are very much affected because if you

look through the caribbean of independence just like us or as prime minister suggested starting relations from scratch ways great is that possible i mean what would it take for serbia to actually i think dialogue i think the dialogue is a very important that look can bring some solution i mean we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians not between should be and costs because we don't recall a score so independence we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians for almost two hundred fifty years and then the end. the day we have to solve that kind of conflict conflicts blocking not only serve serbs and albanians but also whole region in terms of progress and development only trade dialogue we can achieve some sort of you showing that can be acceptable for prishtina agreed so the prettiest foreign minister with a mistake sat that surveys actually putting in chances of joining the e.u. under threat by refusing to cooperate with kosovo and you're facing a really tough choice what's your priority kosovo are the member so i'm not making

that kind of differences been. participating on elections the last time and the first time when i was elected for president of serbia having a mind to mean so digital dollars to become in the state of european union to be found to be totally taken so going into my country i'm going to continue my efforts in that direction while in two thousand and eight in every single one of your interviews you set that seventy priest per cent of your people off serbs thought that kosovo was the main problem major problem in the country and like your later this number dropped to six percent why is that i mean if you're talking about people that. mentioning course always a main problem of the country the different opinion polls imposture yours you have to know that serbia is a very much affected because if economical crisis and in that respect the old

serbian people and the citizens of thinking that economic crises. unemployment and the kind of problems the talk before are joined and this is a totally true without strong economy and the real development you cannot defend your state and the national interests and that is why we are trying to solve the problems like all other countries all around the world but people are not thinking that the costs always are not the problem anymore costs always existing on the problem not only between serbs and the. binion's but those with regional policy globally thinking because of keeping in the mind the real possible press of the can create many many turmoil sold around the world you're absolutely right the international court of justice in the hague recognized the legitimacy of course of this independence and this is the first president now as to that what do you think are the consequences for some other european countries in the decision of the international court of justice has been legitimizing you know that through

a declaration of independence not independence of course. being in the mind the group of the people to declare unilaterally in the penders didn't have a right to do that they came to the consideration all the legal framework which was adopted on course so before and there is very controversial decision but we are not going to interfere in decision so for the international court of justice we accept that and we are going to continue all efforts in the erection to defend territorial integrity and sovereignty or serbia but it cannot be really cheap the. without dialogue between serbs and albanians between prishtina both agreed and we have to have some kind of compromise on the end of the day solution is not one sided to me is course all being is getting everything and the other serbia and sort of serbian people are losing everything i'm totally sure that we have to have

a some compromise despite their urging of the european parliament to recognize this independence as spain has graced theirs for mania they refused to do so do you think it's more because their apprehensions about their own intentions are it's just solidarity no no no no they're there are all governments all around the world are they finding their own interests not only those three countries but also cyprus and greece and i appreciate very much that kind of approach because that was very helpful regarding serbian position but those guys. them and so defending the interest so they citizens and the national interest and we understand that very well be on the side that perfectly well you have always stronger promoted the pro-american image of your government and then when the cost of the issue merged when it came down to it turned out that russia was your only ally to ally how did that happen beyond. president the government is going to be ollie's if i'm going to be leader of this country i'm sure that i'm going to continue my work serbian

government we want to have the best possible relations for united states even though we are facing with real challenges for especially because of course that is a crucially important achievement in my doc's with the vice president biden and clinton and she came to belgrade and we agreed that we disagree on course so he should and this is not very easy to achieve that kind of. relations in the very difficult circumstances in which we are living second we do not want to become member states so if united states we want to become a member state of european union we are leaving the europe and we are going to continue our efforts in that direction but no one can make a very strange or not official condition symptom so frequent as in kosovo. because of the intention to become a member state the future puno be should know that the pro-choice european union countries very much taking to the consideration our relations with the russian

historical relations very close relations and culture relations no one can make any problem seeing death respect this is not changeable policy and be sure of the survey's going to be very very close partner of russia true future and future history and we should have and continue to have special little course i have extremely close relations with your present to your prime minister we have a very very good conversation and we agreed on many many issues and we are going to continue our force in that direction so this is a quote from your end. for you that balkan integration into the day all the way to settle the disputes and we should all be integrated into europe and look for pragmatic ways out singleton is there now why do you think it's possible to settle the issue that one country couldn't solve on its own within the e.u. boundaries only to a dialogue we can solve the problem is that it's not the fact think only serbs and albanians only serbia but also whole region and i think that is becoming globally extremely important issue and that is the reason that only sixty countries

recognize corso independence until today we have more than one hundred ninety countries so that the member states of the united nations and it is this is also fate that we have to take into consideration so that ultra right moments are gathering pace and here and now under this conditions how do you see settling the problem of living side by side with muslims in your country i mean the religious issue is a very very important issue muslims bush gets bush and people that have a muslim religion are living in serbia for centuries and i appreciate very much the arch event of my system and bush culture in my country and in the original policy in that respect are fully respecting all rights for all religious communities old national minorities and we are going to continue that kind of policy europe is a facing with a with the problem with the challenge child to define themself in terms of the

influence of the muslim culture on european confidence in the between turkey and europe we are not very strong country and we cannot to decide what has to be european policy and that they were actually have to decide where are the borders of european union are not how to the. many different things that existing between christians and muslims but. if you want my. opinion i see staying on the extreme religious groups that. have been all really right now not only among the muslims but those some of the christian science facing the serbian president would rather call the. very very often insisting on christian identity but very strong and very extreme religious

organizations becoming problems everywhere on the globe sir sir big government at its utmost to hand it out it's to the hague what's your assessment of this process we have to continue that process first of all this is all oh this is in accordance with ologists lesion we are respecting all of those otherwise we'll be in a very difficult situation and second in terms of frequency area one who is accused has to be and he should be no no. i'm not talking about serbs croats bush in exile barriers but because of war and terrible hope consequences we are facing who are the only ways in terms of frequency lieschen the people that really accuse because of participation in the war crimes during the night the night this has to be faced with the justice in the hague tribunal and then two years ago when that i was doing it was acquitted of all charges he sat there tribunals decision was a major blow to the whole international justice system and also to the hopes for

reconciliation saying that you considered a biased and incompetent that was really very tough momentum for serbs and serbia and for me as a serbian president. fortunately that is a continuing process against the mr harding there right now and there right now he's in the hague tribunal once again and the human rights watch says it's a human rights organization demanded that you put pressure on serbia to actually make this a. more effective what do you say to that. much change in my in my in my approach on everyone who is the reason they teach us to be in the hague tribunal that is very strict and not changeable pockets mr president thank you richard you very much thanks a lot. like
