in a very proper way regarding or economic cooperation and collaboration speaking about . the most important political issues we have always had that kind of support and. assistance and there to save an endorsement in the most important issues with the most significant issues for serbia i felt very comfortable in bolton's words on further support for serbia's territorial integrity which is not. only an issue of serbia which became an issue of minnesota states that were put in jeopardy because of you know let's well auctions. some other you know territories or people that are nations. let's go by point regarding that especially kosovo it's always relevant it's always relevant but especially now it's been back in the news

because you are seeking to mend ties with kosovo but you're saying it has to be a two way street you're in favor of the so-called land deal that would actually see kosovo divided on the think lines right now christiane i saying no partition to any part of kosovo firstly i was not saying that we should do and i have never mentioned that the sort of partition by an on or based on the clause there was only one sometimes but i have always been saying. we need to reach we need to find a compromising solution between serbs and albanians which means that it cannot be the case and it will be in years that everything the serbs got the thing again is again absolutely everything. that i have ever dreamed of serbs that absolutely nothing. that was why that was over that was serbia's first and the only

position that we have never left then we faced response from different sides. russia was saying ok if serbia agrees or something because we consider serbia as a sovereign state you serbia has a something was supported which was very much in accordance with or absolutely in accordance with international public law. and that's why we respected and appreciated that political attitude of president or to know russia very much on the other hand we've got a very clear response from several countries they were totally against it they were saying just to clear it up that. if that happens serbia will open doors box on those walls about border changes and it was you disagree i totally disagree totally why how can we open pandora's box who opened the doors books in

two thousand and eight accepting acknowledging and recognizing an independence of course or unilaterally proclaimed. they were doing so. when they say to me ok we don't want to change the borders i mediately reply to them saying. it was it also is a part of serbia there are no border changes no no no we accept border trains is that we did ten years ago but no you cannot do it even if you will the groove on that with your counterparts we're all being a culture parts that say where are the principles other only principles you can do it you can change our territory and we cannot do it it was not a box that was open ten years ago but it is pandora's box that is going to be open well that's the lazy basing the reopening box they mean serbs living in us and

herzegovina or the albanian minority in macedonia where you say to them to that i said to them ok if you first of all we do support territorial integrity of bosnia we have never mentioned anything about it but i speak about across all your people firstly agreed then recognized social of want to know you are from former yugoslavia from former yugoslavia and my right it happened in two thousand and six if you're a member in two thousand and eight you took and you recognize an independence of course from serbia how did you derive that's right what was the way to to derive that right. and that was not an opening of pandora's box and no it would be an opening of the last box even though we've serbs and albanians will decide making such an arrangement does that's a hypocrisy but like you've mentioned in your answer in the beginning there are

still against it i mean yes russia supports you america is in saying that if serbia and kosovo find a mutual agreement will support it but european partners are saying dollars box so how healthy is it to actually try to mend ties with kosovo because you're trying to do that as much as you can while your most important partners because you want to be part of the you are say no no go on keep on fighting how else is it as a weird situation if you divide it in this way i would define it and a slightly different way i would say it's a very complicated situation for the same time we have different agenda or some other issues which is nato membership serbia. most probably very soon will be the only country in the region that has not aspiring nato membership and we don't hide that there are different reasons why that political attitude from serbian side including and with does happen to our country and to our people and i tonight

tonight and that's what we use difference between serbian all the others that's another difference that's you know you're in a very very special case and. you see you know the situation and most of the only. people didn't decide and people didn't say yes and that's reform on them but as a mother who cares about the referendum results don't go for it you know and they said the results were great even though less than fifty percent of people showed up they don't mind if i may say we think that whatever most of the union agrees greece might agree on something we would support and that would be very important for them but you cannot undermine. people's decision of cannot undermine people's real people in the balkans they expect respect as well as all the others. they just expect normal appreciation and they want to be heard

and that's what i wanted to say speaking about serbia russia we're heard. that's very important for us and we feel that we are respected by our callers by all russian friends is my impression right when i say that you're probably first president in a long time who is actually open to mending ties with kosovo and you speak about it but you don't get much response from the cosas side you're you're right we sided brussels agreement every fulfilled all our obligations from brussels agreement. by the other side they had only one of the geisha which which was forty forty five percent of overall brussels agreement and that obligation was. foundation and establishment of so community service will shoot

association doesn't matter who called it they didn't do it they didn't them do a single small step forward on this issue and it was tolerated by international community when i say international communities and you know from isn't for the western world. this is nothing to that it will never know remarks but we delivered absolutely everything on different issues regional police justice and traditionally issue telecommutes for many other issues they did nothing. most of the k. i went to fulfill it or not are going to make pressure on your guys to fulfill what they signed and you course signed together with us that paper. and then we got a response ok we'll speak about general resolution of your problems or so ok let us speak about it we are open to speak about it from the very beginning i

hope that some people in pristina as well as many people in brussels will do their best. to reach a compromise and solution now i can tell you that i will always be ready to carry on with the day i will always be ready to negotiate on whatever you want. but in the meantime we're lost or trust and confidence in albania that they really want to reach any kind of compromise with. those they were doing their best all the provocation was. they were doing absolutely everything just to undermine or affords. instead of lowering expectations of their people they were expanding their ranks with patients and you see that there is no for ground for possible. serbia will always be ready to continue to resume with the process. but i'm not expecting. very much as

a result of that kind of a surprise and we're going to take a break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to alexander. talking about the session to the e.u. and its relations with the united states stay with us.

and whether they're shooting one third. of the tibetans are. sad. because they're. both which would mean you must be just thinking of that into you but i'm addicted to sit with your middle class and in the muslims well he's going to win the. the idea of freedom of speech is under threat speaking your mind can blind you into serious trouble now you are presumed guilty and must prove your innocence the herd

moves and the sovereign individual has cowed into silence speech has been redefined as purchasing. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to the old for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember of one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but.

when gold make this manufacture consent to sell it to public wealth. when the running plus doesn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. deluded mean real news oh. oh .

you know we're back with alexander from cheech serbian leader as you present you just mobilize serbian army because de coster a leader went to visit the area with the majority of listeners there some because of that was that it's it's a view from outside people would say ok those guys wanted to visit one part of course so and then you will mobilize your army no. they really remained i understand way mobilized army yes they were coming in there with. machine guns

well there are fools and everything else and they don't have the right to come up with that kind of a program that was a. verbal arrangement told there is a statement done by nato plus. serbs after brussels agreement we made also in brussels that there were two preconditions if someone would like to bring let's say machine guns to the north of course all one and the most important precondition was i still use the consent of the local serb community it isn't asking them. and a single serb about saying yes to the visit of russian touchy and it's not about his visit it's a mode weaponry his people were using. and that was another publication and they wanted you know to show that they were in charge that they can do it when ever they

want and whatever they want of course to frighten the serbs was again that's what they wanted to do and they didn't. and the other precondition was consent of nato we don't know what it was doing but if there was a cause of need there was not fulfilled and that's a precondition number one which was consent of sore people serbian people and they didn't have it to talk that's why we needed to react otherwise they can conquer north of course or they can expel all or people and the everyone from western community would say or most of them would say well ok it happens you know mogadishu live in peace and now we have borders in a way that we wanted serbia cannot agree on this so. i mean it was seemed to me our job was just to send a strong message that we would protect our people from the guys that would use.

weaponry against our eyes in the north of course and i think the message was received yes well heard you mentioned in the beginning that you're the only country in the region doesn't aspire to be part of nato but you in nature still enjoy great relations twenty years after the bombings you do mutual exercises they conduct exercises on your territory and then when it comes down to it you just mentioned and we do the same exercises with russia absolutely absolutely but when you claimed i was a major didn't do anything with this incident it's a nato controlled territory what do you what do you get in return when you copper it with nature this much to get it do you feel like you get in return as much as you would have lights to put yourself into our shoes. please we are not russia. we are not become true. although we are the biggest of us and boko we are a small country we have to protect our country we have to protect our people and we

have to maintain peace tranquility and stability within the region we need to boost our economic development we need to attract more investors. we cannot say everything that we think whether one just cannot it's a different position. or not as big as russia or not as strong as russia. we have to. keep the momentum of asking and trying. to carry on with the same or even bigger or better level of cooperation with all the others but at the same time don't forget. it's not only about nato spiration us that we don't have a service the only country that rhythm is an essential russia. we really think that it's an easy decision for serbia there were other thing that we didn't face a lot of pressure from different sides on this issue yes for that mr president i

have to ask you i mean you said it so many times that you will never sacrifice your in membership with your relationship with russia you've been showing a great example of how not to do that but the day will come and you know it will come when they'll say alexander. why don't you join the sanctions and your membership to the e.u. purse the process of the ascending ascendancy of serbia to the you will be speeded up this day will come now this sentence may sound differently in different variations but you get the point we're going to got a point you're very well prepared for this interview. but to tell you the truth. listen in the same question for more than five years first of all we'll see whether that will happen. second we'll see reform but my type of third will see

what european union will look like with. four five six years. those or you know seven eight years i don't know. those debts that's true we are all lost alleviation. before we draw any. and whether it's going to happen anyway because. the most important precondition for your membership is to resolve the issue. that's much bigger and much more problematic issue for us than any other issues as you can see there are many but. or if. none will see and i hope that will be strong enough respect to be enough and that everyone will always appreciate and respect our relationship towards russian people and towards russia we cannot change ourselves on this issue. and hopefully

people in europe will understand that but i'm saying to you once again who knows what will happen several years so then let me ask you about your aspirations to become part of you because i know you are very enthusiastic about it when you came to power well while your prime minister. once you're president you always say that yes serbia wants to be a part of the u. let's say we live in an ideal world the new un kosovo resolve this issue overnight it happened so that's not an obstacle anymore you right now like you said you never know what is not the case but ok ok but last week it's always like what it will have the kosovo issue and then we never talk about serbia becoming part of the let's forget about cost of let's say you resolved it overnight and then you don't have any more obstacles to go to the you are a still isn't easy assoc i'm seeing what's going on there is south that's getting poor north that's getting richer and there are like in europe and western europe there are actually bickering about migration and so many more issues and this

elections that are coming up they're going to completely change the whole configuration and the paradigm in which you exist i mean it's kind of like a fractured. you need right now why do you want to be part of it so much and so the world whether someone. wants to do something desperately or not it's something about rushnell decisions. so it is and it's you because of social reasons one of concerns we want to belong to the type of society another one is. one tool we have in the. response of the stranger it's ruined your countries and sixty eight percent or trade or world trade to an over plus twenty percent of the original countries are within those is russia was trying. out a small portion of a turk we are situated that a lot of the world for the same time i don't think that that will exclude.

not only our friendship what's very close ties with russia who they don't hide it as you know you were because you were insisting from the very first moment of your interview. everything that i was saying about your opinion betray the height but you don't mention the fact that even in washington or in brussels well today in the english language i'm saying. that we'll keep a very close ties with russia always we don't know what will happen in the future we still don't know. but. i think that our european partners will always understand sort of one or issue is russia i just have one last question or two about president trump because he's a very unconventional american leader i mean he's ves of the world and the way america should be are unlike the ones of his predecessors he's not very sympathetic towards e.u. i mean he's declaring taric wars in china our european union doesn't really like

nato because he says like everyone should pay up not only america does that change anything for serbia i say or serbia's stance. you've invited him to come to serbia is that serbia is what you demand going to service or for anybody. we. serbs they prefer no doubt trump and obama will come up why i don't know because serbs have always thought that it was democrats fault. that aggression against serbia over his support and republican party resuming where else and. compass you said is pretty much a question of them and you know only a few things about his politics almost nothing about his politics in the balkans but at least from bolton he opened the doors for possible arrangement

between bell bit and that's what we appreciate and that's slightly a change. well their politics would have to see where it will have to see i cannot assess a takeout estimated asking is that the russians were all so excited about trump winning because well thought that republicans were better than democrats for russia and put him in trouble i could see out there on a personal level but then there's the stablish well that wouldn't let him do anything that's very well for the rational approach. of excited. about the whole of russia as i said to you when he went to see what is going to be the final result of their stance is their position their attitude or serbia or western balkans right mr president thank you very much for this insightful interview thank you very much and i was to tell you the truth. pretty much positively surprised by the knowledge that

you have shown and there are very few politicians and sort of you that would understand all the questions and all the issues i'm sure i'm just a cold thank you i love your country and i wish l. the best of luck with love your country. all the best to your country and we hope that. we'll be able to preserve. the best possible relationship between our two countries amen. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of

the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see than. most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down lose business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical

thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. cooked additional sunburst if so not on what was and etc to linger some of these it's just a good usual thing it's not. simple yet so in my future notional policy. looks good for the shelling of the parental ship especially since last year when the shit. he think of shit you know you're pushing thirty. volts of shipping. yep and you lost it does the book it will work for the foreseeable still mostly no i don't know what that will. but. it was the latest loses in the process. stuff no worries i'm all

right so yeah i've put this was going to do some. lyricists through the syringe still yeah. it does these. things is a. secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator. he simply moves him to a different spot where the previous. highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so listen to that that's not going to. include.

it's three. stories here on our to international. military intelligence service exposing alleged. types around the world including on the international chemical weapons watchdog. and between india and prime minister. of russian president vladimir putin are currently underway in the two leaders expected to sign a multi billion dollar sales contract. in the u.s. congress approves the creation of a new agency to pump money into infrastructure projects in developing countries worth sixty billion dollars it's a move designed to china.
