european union that is the 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 and the constitution that tad it 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 founded 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 lose the support of your traditional very to save your european stone your voices that 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 citizen. and 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. mr beard in your first statement after the elections you said that serbia will not turn away from the european path and at the

same time you promise 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 as award 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 coalition 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 it for these women more as i 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 here aren't you afraid that the greek scenario could be repeated in your country loved over to you know greece is another thing greece is a member of the e.u. which was spending more money than it could afford then one day it came out that it didn't have anything left it took advantage of the e.u. which is not a state but a union of states the trust one another serbia is far behind any of the e.u. member countries i've had a meeting with the foreign affairs minister of slip out here who told me that much concern that unemployment in his country is ten percent i told him that we almost read. twenty five percent of that our debt by the end of the able to probably surpass sixty five percent of g.d.p. i mean that which would be a catastrophe as a state most likely it's not the debt that is what the g.d.p. of the state is too low so i think it 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 of the human rights freedom of expression because of the struggle against organized crime bribery and corruption of the likud minority rights you always are achievements of a e.u. serbia enter the ear i don't know that the first of all they have the crisis of expansion with it today it's clear that we were being naive 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 many other you know 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. my truth is that the world is a lot bigger my victory is a victory of the ideology of both the e.u. and russia call me and i'm not the e.u. or russia because of the sea there doesn't work that was interesting he don't think that serbia will have to seize between the e.u. and russia i think it's possible to keep the right balance between then. you have

a whole other level i'd prefer not to have to make the choice or this i'd like serbia to be a home with two doors want to the west and the other to the east these 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 as tree customs language but we have complementary industries that we've had exceptional economic relations since the second world war unfortunately we ruined our industry with senseless privatisation over the years which led to people losing their jobs they were never the less we have the education we have the will 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's until two thousand. thousand and eight when russia signed with serbia and energy renewable for allowing our country to breathe more easily will also those who are already talking about the construction of south stream of large investments in hydro and gas power stations will we should have done it earlier because the they shouldn't think that it's our unique partner because this way it could impose

really harsh condition is the country should maintain its sovereignty and also have partners in other places and we shouldn't forget about the brics countries of 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. would be the use of molex better than ever the it seems like serbia is always having to meet new conditions to become e.u. members the other candidates have to join nato what if they want me to join it to. thirty or forty 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 becomes an organization which

together with the collective security treaty organization would fight against organized crime in the world then we would have participated in serbia is a small country surrounded by nato members there's 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 lead attach just as there are at the proteas assert that i'm ready for dialogue but not with her tattoo because there are suspicions that he committed crimes against the serbian anything he cannot negotiate until the investigation of his case finishes but i will speak with other representatives after the bombing of serbia in one thousand nine hundred ninety we left nato in the territories if it worked we gave them civil and military power we have. ministration for communities in northern cause of over here and the e.u. has asked us to abolish these serbian institutions and we responded that we cannot do that because we have a university there are hospitals and schools and colleges oil i just follow the constitution and in serbia the president has its guarantor yours our constitution

says that kosovo and metohija are parts of serbia that either leave that he's hopeful to divide possibly in this case what would happen to the serbs living on the territory acquired by the albanians not the sole southers you're good at this moment and from the point of view of the constitutional it's not possible to do and one of the citizens of serbia say yes in a referendum appealed i don't know but the syrians who are living outside these four communities as north depend on ever seen a case for when making a new lazies 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 over the serbs in kosovo can leave from their work without waiting for assistance and depending on the institutions of pristina you know because this would start the indirect recognition the loss of those independence of the poor or a sort of beard or they were the use. of all the cities in russia as well as in serbia you hear very often that the hague tribunal is unfair to the serbs do you

plan to continue their cooperation with the tried be you know initiated by the democrats. does not have been the team leader who defended voice live show and i struggled against carla del ponte a for many years or 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 or 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 legged with and it will close in a fairly negative way for the global justice system or as the former president of serbia die. and that you know the presidents of croatia and bosnia have not been convicted discrimination of the serbian people began long ago and today nothing has changed and segregation continues obviously it's not fair that the serbian government adopted them nor in cooperation with the hague tribunal we have to
