american military adventures now many of them work for the president and this administration the very idea of diplomacy is absent it relies upon threats and saying. they can come and blow our brains out at any given time if we can't really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people. war illegally get away with. all the fire crawls stillbirth you all the trouble here's briefly all the points it's hollow following the k.k.k. exists because america wants it to exist they are the biggest terrorist group to ever operate in this country and they're dead to me they're worse off than the people who destroyed the world trade centers those grow quite.

well welcome to sophie and co i'm selfish ever not said stocks would break away kosovo remain frozen the serbian government finds itself facing a tie it of protests sweeping across the balkans is here oops eastern set for a shake up i ask him it's said that church serbian foreign minister. massive protests rocked the streets of cities capital yet the president remains defiant and hell bent on posting his balancing act between east and west transylvania join the e.u. and maintain its old friendship with russia will the question. integration.

is said that it's such a great pleasure to have you once again on our show we missed you it's been probably. so once a year it's a must and since a lot of things have been happening especially in serbia kind of turbulent times protests are raging in your country since december your president is saying that he's not going to bow down to any of the demands do you think it's a good approach to actually be so hard on the protestors could it be that they will get even angrier. well you know what they want to resign crazy to do that. therefore there is no need to get excited about the protests. i'm not sure if you understand here we do not have a situation where the parties in the opposition are equal in terms of the number of

m.p.'s the number of votes we have a situation with. my party both. have more than sixty percent of the votes. all the protests have around ten percent. the difference is quite large all these protests can last for who knows how long but no one should thing that you can just come to the demonstrations and say that it has to resign. gained or lost only in the elections you know so this protest thing actually very popular all across. france with a yellow last protests. in france for almost half a year now and. is actually traveling. with q. and a sessions to actually understand what the people want what their demands are

things that could be maybe an option for serbia. regardless of marker on. already you know pain president about the future of serbia. everyone can see how many people gather at the biggest opposition really as opposed to the rallies and. to give. difference. to fifteen times as many people. difference and there really is not any political instability in all. only have various incidents. to draw attention and popularize the opposition rally. i will say this one more time everyone has the right to protest the news but the

elections. which one can come to power. thousands of people cannot just come in front of the presidential palace plates and say that the president must resign but it's. ok i understand your point of view but whatever it is that it's taking place in serbia is there any reason to suspect foreign involvement because usually when people come out in the streets no matter where they were shot or america is blamed for it depending on. their risk probably is certainly influenced from the outside. when something like this happens in a region the usual suspects of the western countries because they have something to gain by provoking instability since they are not friends of governments that make decisions on their own. someone is helping these demonstrations. on the american

television channel in serbia with the participation of the people. with some cable channels and you know this is why we suspect that the reason is certain foreign influence. this is absolutely irrelevant because it's we're not voting in washington or in moscow because we're voting in belgrade. serbia is not venezuela so there's no doing things that's way. ok but if you look at the larger spectra serbia is not the only country in the balkans with protests in the street i think staring up in kosovo and then am onto negra so when a person looks at it from the outside they're asking themselves maybe it's like arab spring but balkan edition. but new to limitless is nothing

new for us i've been in politics for twenty nine years i've been through all kinds of things i've seen everything in the streets. you cannot compare these protests in belgrade. that are happening elsewhere because you know when there are elections and when there are problems if the political difference between the government and the opposition is small then there is political uncertainty. here the difference is huge and it is obvious that this does not pose any danger to power that is why i said he wants to talk about the future about the program through the program of these our position parties. which of the opposition consists of different parties from some of them are extreme right wing with the unequal and others are extreme leftists who. are all united

with. hate. they do not have enough support for this to cause political instability. therefore moved as far as serbia is concerned we will not see this scenario where the government is startled through mass protests play itself out. it happened once on october the fifth two thousand. and then there is their turn no question of kosovo and. president has said that regardless of all the difficulties serbia and kosovo can reach an agreement to share his enthusiasm. i do not. ask for an agreement reasons i think we should recognize costs of prison if they do not recognize any other arrangement and they declare the state unilaterally go

they failed to round off the state did not become members of the united nations supposed to loose on did not become members of the sea or members of the council of europe as opposed to the joneses five even member states did not recognize costs of . cannot achieve a permanent solution without compromising. the ready for a compromise then i can share that enthusiasm unfortunately since they're not ready for a compromise they have now introduced one hundred percent on goods from serbia and bosnia herzegovina. that there is no further dialogue. these tariffs are abolished therefore i cannot share this and few the. one thing is certain serbia will never recognize course of the way they did it unilaterally we will certainly not accept this unilateral act and we are ready for an agreement we are ready for compromises

but let everyone present their ideas of what a compromise could be. no such thing i think we are far from reaching an agreement supposed to go through talking about compromise let's talk about compromise within casa country's parliament has approved what it's called platform for a dialogue with serbia and then it was right away with the house of opposition do you think that could actually. this is like a good platform that could work for a dialogue but could it be scattered by hardliners from within closer. and who are of course was not only the opposition movement also the cassava government has created a platform against this dialogue because their plan. does not allow any compromise your van platform talks about reserving crimes how serbia should be a war a. real threat of being an artificial state simplest things that everything is

already over when they wake up from their delusions they will have to face that cerebral reality thirteen countries would have withdrawn their recognition of course of a. meaning that. no longer has the majority to become a member of international organizations the only vision and no agreement all decision can be reached without. concent. because they do not want any compromise they want maximum. this is unacceptable for us that is why it should be clear to everyone told all the biggest obstacle to reaching an agreement again on the other hand because everyone should also be clear that no nation in europe has two states the old dainian people cannot have two states. practically means that this utopia must.

is not. someone thinks kosovo should be a state to put. greater albania because it is only a matter of time until united's with. your to so many there is no solomon here and it is the biggest threat to the stability in the region it would be. foreign minister it would take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to serbia's foreign minister even if that batch of stay with us. imagine that you run a blood bank. in one room are dead patients they've been dead since two thousand

and eight j.p. morgan. society generali just b. c. etc and in the other room living middle class people and the point of blood to take blood from the living middle class and to transfuse blood to the dead banks next door that they've been dead now for more than ten years the people that are in the middle class are going to start to suffer and suffer horribly and many of them will die by the way they won't be getting any of the blood from the other middle class people to keep them alive all the blood all the plasma goes to the dead. even. i live eat he didn't. need to. be young.

we have many things in this world this isn't enough for everyone why some peoples wants to take our things all the power just for damn self.

and we're back with serbian foreign minister said that foreign minister national there's a terrorist situation one hundred percent arabs that kosovo has imposed an all good serbia and even though costs over as are actually suffering because of the starrett of saying we're not going to leave until serbia recognizes our independence that's not happening right so saying we're not going to have and start talks until the tariffs are lifted so we're there you're in a deadlock here aren't you. well prishtina is responsible for this could be true that can be no renew talks until the terrorists are abolished how can the be where in the world do you have one hundred percent terrorists the last one in this is proof that does not want to cooperate with us economically. and they say they will revoke the tariffs when serbia recognizes kosovo neutral because that's not happening they do not. then there will be

no further dialogue and we will introduce measures against the. president announced that if they do not revoke the tariffs within six months. we will wait until then then we will introduce a new counter measures listen they have one tactic to constantly actually know actually supply when it comes to compromising if they do not they will form the community of serbia mr palette instead they now say they will abolish the terror of see if we do something in return for me there why should we do something. first they have to revoke the tariffs and then we can discuss further but if it appears that everyone has forgotten about the community of serb municipalities. ok and then there is the famous land swap theory that everyone's discussing lately and that would actually mean that if serbia it's north then region that is served

on it and serbia would be sad and little region that is albanian dominated and everyone's happy but if that happens then saying that that's not a good thing because that could open pandora's box for the balkan region what do you think. they should have thought about it when they recognized. you know what they're saying there cannot be to any good it changes what the borders are going to internationally recognized borders of serbia. within serbia who are the ones that have recognised kosovo open doors box and are reversing it and now. we suggested solutions to the problem between belgrade and prishtina you know most of these solutions were never discussed it was just the idea that was being said. there was no specific discussion on the matter with you because there is no danger that it could be

a challenge for others after all when they recognize kosovo they said that this is the case of this suit generous. that is the case for itself now they say it will be it will precedent for some other countries this is hypocritical these are double standards those who recognize constable do not have the right to give us lessons about the absence of a border change because they first violated this principle and want borders discuss over half of the borders discourse of a have civil was never a state because there was always within serbia within you this law the going on it i also comprehend correctly that this famous land swap theory that everyone's talking about therapy is not even considering seriously. well listen this is not the land swap we have never talked about it which we are in theory really is you can see any possibility of

a compromise solution. serbia believes that cost of the parts of serbia albanians believe that the whole of the cassava should be an independent state what is the compromise between these two positions. there is another thing and this is the real life. the real territory where the serbs leaving. this is practically the territory where christian does not have any authority and that is the point if we are looking for compromises we need to look for something that is real which will not cause problems. however the subject seems too far we have not come to this matter is up with we are now discussing the issue of terrets oxy we are far from solving the problem someone is making trouble someone else is teaching us a lesson about the land swap. have never seen something like this particular a year ago belgium and the netherlands signed an agreement on the land swap.

the story. and then. albania somewhere around all of the costs of right now we have the pro all banning protests there are taking place in kosovo and i remember tirana floating this idea of kosovo joining it as one of the regions even if that is at the expense of the many in membership do you think that could happen. we have been saying this from the very beginning that this is the main goal by nia i don't know if you remember but when macedonian parliament speaker. first appeared on television there was an albanian flag on his table the next in the macedonian one on the other hand there are ten times as many albanian flies in. the cast of a.

cast of ours as a nation do not exist remove albanians and serbs in kosovo this is why this is a threat to the stability in the region the e.u. does not see that the countries that recognized. have given the basis for albania to discuss it at all. there are great objections now till then years behavior but there are no direct condemnations or reactions brussels does not contain any or any other country the same way they condemn serbia and what the serbian people to. these are your double standards imagine of serbia was to say that the republic of. should be a part of serbia. for me so when you are saying that served in northern could be expelled like a ninety five by people with minds who do you mean who are those people with the clout in mind. well i'm referring to the albanians amongst

the cassava leadership there are those who could think of something like that. now this creates a big problem. for does not react then serbia will have to react because it causes political and regional instability that is why i say that there is a great danger in instability in cost of and that is why it is important to resign . that there is some agreements between belgrade and. that is why we are warning about this kind of danger. in advance that the international community will not see belgrade quietly while serbs are being killed in the north of cassava as it unfortunately happened in croatia. and then i want to talk a little bit about nato because twenty years after the nato. i spoke to the president and he actually says we have for

a given but we're not going to forget what's going to happen so right now we see serbia cop reigning with nato having exercises do you think it's easy for serbian people project digest that. we cooperate primarily to maintain normal relations. surrounded by. running security forces in. brussels agreement there is no obligation. for to guarantee that the albanian armed forces. in the north. this cooperation is limited only to military neutrality we do not want to join and we will not become a member of nato when it comes to nato aggression our people still think the worst of. this is a war crime committed against serbia and the serbian people. so you're right

that's already circled by nato countries as and further time passes more balkan countries will be joining nato that's a fact because there are aspirations i mean how hard is it going to be first serbia to just sort of like stand in a corner and watch everyone around is joining the alliance. the same as before we already surrounded. the same before when the warsaw pact existed we were not members of the warsaw pact we have a policy of military neutrality and its will remains just that if you look at force our people think the vast majority of serbia. serbia is joining. therefore. we can forgive them and go in the sense that we will cooperate with the countries that bombed us but this is something that cannot be forgotten memories at

least not by our generation us again. ok let's talk a bit about qana me i heard your construction minister recently say that china is serbia's best friend and right now what we see is that the european continent is a little cautious about china is trying to limit chinese investment in the continent and all of that so do you think this close friendship of china and serbia could actually because they are pressured by the you with your relations and about your relations with russia do you think you can be further pressured with your relations with china. we'll it's something normal. we are resistant to pressure thank have objections to everything. china the west. we abolished visas for india indonesia the west objects we abolished visas for russia the object now we're signing

a free trade agreements with the eurasian economic union they object there is a problem only when serbia is friendly they have no objections when friends with china go when hungary's friends with china when germany's friends with china these are double standards so it's the same with germans and the northern european countries that can use russian gas from the north stream but the serbs should not use russian just a little bit because they will be done by germans and others would be these are double standards. that's actually in my last question because that's another point of divergence between the turks training pipeline that's going to pass through through turkey from russia through turkey and. very wary about it and your energy minister says no a survey will not pressure but one heard that before with bulgaria and south rain

but look what happened are you sure that it's not going to happen with turks treatment therapy at the same thing that happened with gary at. the companies that will build the infrastructure and distribute the jazz. differently to the high of i completely agree with you that there is a lot of pressure everyone against the stream pipeline on the other hand what are the implications now turkey has joined the project and now it is called the. serbia has finished all the. paperwork the construction of the four hundred kilometers of pipeline has already begun in our country. but i hope that everything in bulgaria will be alright sort of quickly put it there will be no obstacles this time so that's cause this is the main reason for political pressure on. but nobody else. thank

you very much for the good luck with everything things. trumping ministration is on an offensive around the globe as a candidate trump called out neo-cons for supporting american military interests now many of them work for the president in this ng ministration the very idea of diplomacy is absent it relies upon threats and saying.

we could only be done. for the. sobers you didn't sell something to me if you go back to cuba. you measure your purpose in life at play you don't really. know you're among the group. who build the most the movies you did well yeah except you're then he says and pulls with folks like me the folks with the security just hold it while you go to couple. o. . going. to little psycho. wall enclosure we're going to produce a. monkey
