this is our t. here are the top stories russia wants against placing the blame for a massacre on the syrian city of houla soley on the sad government position also. at a meeting with the british the russian foreign minister called for a federal investigation into the tragedy. as the syrian conflict drags on is being fueled by weapons flowing from neighboring lebanon. mostly driven by soaring profits but others are themselves joining the fight against assad for purely religious reasons. student protests in canada and hundreds of arrests.

are set to resume but many are skeptical over the prospects. for interviews to curb street rallies is causing even more. fifteen minutes from now in the meantime we have an interview with serbia's newly elected president. he speaks about the road ahead for his country as it faces an economic crisis and strives for membership. mr president thank you very much for giving your time for this interview did international media see you as a right wing however you based your election campaign. that is those they are absolutely right i am a nationalist but i'm a democrat as well and as far as european values go we will respect them because of

our constitution the constitution the cost to meet certain i wrote together i respect it sincerely i'd like to bring order to serbia the way that germany is organized probably a lot of time will pass until the western press accept me and treats me fairly as for many years they've written about me negatively now it's difficult to change that but after achieving victory in unacceptable conditions during an incredibly dirty media campaign it's more probable that the media will change their opinion too moreover i showed that i want to be the president of all the citizens of serbia i've resigned the position as head of the party that i found it only three years ago and i took it to the top of the serbian political scene i left it as if it was a child when now my objective is to make serbia a developed and successful country and for that i need the support of all citizens not only members of the progressive party of serbia. aren't you afraid you'll

support if you are traditional very to save your european stereo but your voices are thaw i'm not afraid because europe is a very attractive partner for serbia and our country should meet almost all the conditions that the e.u. imposes this process should stop only if they ask us to renounce part of our territory i'm referring to kosovo and the talk here until now i've been open and sincere with the citizens of serbia and i'm going to continue cooperating with the people at the moment they impose such conditions i told people immediately i think that's why i won't lose my popularity you know in our country the dismissal of a president is almost impossible nevertheless my term will last five years only if the citizens allow it if they no longer want to see me in this position i will walk away right now i'm convinced that the politics that i've been representing are the only good politics for serbia. the you when you first statement after the elections you said that serbia will not turn away from the european path and at the same time you've promised to hold a referendum where the citizens will have to decide if they want to join the e.u.

or not we keep this promise. business of the board of the referendum is going to happen we agreed with the democrats that when all the conditions are fulfilled for serbia's entry to the e.u. we will go to the people with the question do you want to be in the e.u. and they will decide that's how they did it in croatia only a few months ago but only after they had fulfilled all the conditions and when the e.u. had accepted croatia then they organized the referendum i think it's necessary to cooperate with citizens a lot more than in the past but that doesn't mean that i'm resigned to the european way my only fear is that they'll impose conditions that i personally wouldn't accept but probably the citizens would say that's fulfill it too because we want to be in the e.u. i won with fifty percent of vote and i know that the other half didn't support my ideas that's why i believe that i should ask them to get to these. as i said come to power tonight when serbia is in a difficult economic situation when the country's unemployment rate exceeds twenty

four percent on the other side europe also has its problems and it's becoming poorer day by day so why do so still want to become members of the new aren't you afraid that the greek scenario could be repeated in your country not over to queerness you know greece is another thing greece is a member of the e.u. which was spending more money than it could afford because then one day it came out that it didn't have anything left over it took advantage of the e.u. which is not a state but a union of states the trust one another one of the serbia is far behind any of the e.u. member countries who have had a meeting with the foreign affairs minister of slovakia who told me with much concern that unemployment in his country is ten percent i told him that we almost reach twenty five percent and that our debt by the end of the year will probably surpass sixty five percent of g.d.p. which would be a catastrophe for the state or most likely it's not the debt at large but the g.d.p. of a state that is too low this serbia should go on trying to form part of the e.u. which means much more than simply belonging to a union

a well organized judicial system with human rights for. them of expression of the struggle against organized crime bribery and corruption of minority rights all these are achievements of the e.u. will serbia enter the e.u. i don't know first of all they have a crisis of expansion today it's clear that we won't be in the e.u. during the next ten years at the same time they have the existential crisis the euro is a currency that's turning weaker by the day on the other hand it's a big question how long is germany going to help members of the union that's to say how long should german taxpayer support the countries in crisis i promise to guide serbia to a path where no one could say that we don't want to enter the e.u. but the truth is that the world is a lot bigger because of it because my victory is a victory of the ideology of both the e.u. and russia and not the e.u. or russia. doesn't know that that's interesting you don't see that serbia will have to seize between the e.u. and russia you think it's possible to keep the right balance between them. you have

a whole other level i'd prefer not to have to make the choice i'd like serbia to be a home with two doors one to the west and the other to the east serbia simply belongs to the east as well as to the west we have a traditional and deep relationship with russia not only in terms of origin but also in religion with the history customs language we have complimentary industries of we've had exceptional economic relations since the second world war unfortunately we ruined our industry with senseless privatisation which led to people losing their jobs never the less we have the education we have the will the power and natural resources to collaborate once again with the russian federation at a much higher level since two thousand serbia has moved away from russia until two thousand and eight when russia signed with serbia and energy grids allowing our country to breathe more easily now we're already talking about the construction of south stream of large investments in hydro and gas power stations we should have

done it earlier because the e.u. shouldn't think that it's our unique partner because this way they could impose really harsh conditions for the country should maintain its sovereignty and also have partners in other places and we shouldn't forget about the brics countries or the arab and african world that cooperate very well with serbia so when we open the doors of serbia to the world we do so for a prosperous future that's why i'll never choose between russia and the e.u. i know where my heart is and everybody in serbia knows that but i also think that we can be a good bridge between europe and russia and the best partner of russia in the e.u. because of the other the. it seems like serbia is always having to meet conditions to become e.u. mendis the other candidates have to join nato what if they want me to join a team. that is. going to serbia will never enter nato as this is the will of the majority of the serbian people and the e.u. will never impose this condition because serbia doesn't have any reason to enter i

don't see any sense in its existence but if nato become. as an organization which together with the collective security treaty organization would fight against organized crime in the world then we would have participated serbia is a small country surrounded by nato members there is no one serbia would start a war with we don't need nato to defend us we are militarily neutral and it will stay like that forever are you ready to maintain a dialogue with pristina and with its leader touchy just as they are at the very core of this that i'm ready for dialogue but not with hashem tattoo because there are suspicions that he committed crimes against the serbian people but he cannot negotiate until the investigation his case finishes but i will speak with other representatives there after the bombing of serbia in one thousand nine hundred nine we left nato in the territory of kosovo we gave them civil and military power but we have our administration for communities in northern kosovo and the e.u. has asked us to abolish these serbian institutions we responded that we cannot do that because we have a university that hospitals schools and colleges i just follow the constitution and

in serbia the president is it's guarantor of our constitution says that kosovo and metohija are parts of serbia that hooty that we both work. together do you believe that it is possible to divide cassaday in this case what would happen to the serbs living on the territory acquired by the albanians not as good at this moment and from the point of view of the constitution it's not possible and one of the citizens of serbia say yes in a referendum i don't know but the serbians who live outside these four communities in the north depend on pristina k. four will make a new legacy the international society especially the united nations should guarantee its absolute security and serbia should guarantee a good life and that's something that serbia avoided a bit and i will do my best so that the serbs in kosovo can live from their work without waiting for assistance and depending on the institutions of pristina because this would start the indirect recognition of kosovo independence of the more assertive you had was that they were the. so. this is. in

russia as well. very often that the hague tribunal is uncertain do you plan to continue the cooperation with the chinese be you know initiated by the democrats. i've been the team leader who defended voice live show and i struggled against carla del ponte a for many years even personally in strasbourg we had a very difficult conversation in the presence of many parliamentarians of the european council the hague tribunal will exist until the situation in the world changes and people have been convicted their people are dying there but the tribunals has the support of all countries and so far no one has launched a process to stop it anyway it will be closed soon because there are only a few processes left with and it will close in a fairly negative way for the global justice system as the former president of serbia died in the hague of the presidents of croatia and bosnia have not been convicted yet it is discrimination of the serbian people began long ago and today

nothing has changed and segregation continues obviously it's not fair but the serbian government adopted a more on cooperation with the hague tribunal and we have to respect that norrin stand by it like we've enjoyed many injustices in this world. thank you you thank
