President Aleksandar Vucic stated that it is not a coincidence that Serbia, when it comes to resolving the Kosovo issue, expects much more from President Donald Trump than from representatives of some previous US administrations.

Commenting on assessments made by Albanian lobbyist, US Senator Eliot Engel and US Secretary of State from Bill Clinton's administration, Madeleine Albright, that he was pursuing a policy around Kosovo with an "iron fist" and that he managed to turn America against Pristina, Vucic said that these were very important people. who attacked him and Serbia and pointed out that he would continue to fight for his country.

"This shows that these people would simply like Serbia to recognize an independent Kosovo and not have its own legitimate demands. It is not a coincidence that it has been, I will not say easier, because it's not easy at all, but we can expect much more from the administration of President Trump and his associates, than from Mrs. Albright and Mr. Engel," said Vucic.

He said that he would continue to fight for Serbia, because that is his job.

"I haven't used any  kind of fist, I only tried to make sure we have a free flow of goods, capital, people and services," said Vucic.

He stressed that these are important people, and assessed that this story has not been given much attention in Serbia.

As he said, Eliot Engel is a senatorial doyen who comes from Brooklyin, the most prominent Albanian lobbyist, a very powerful man.

"That 3rd Prizren League formed in 1946, when Albanians started financing the Albanian lobby in America with a horrific amounts of money has cost us the most, much more than the 1st and 2nd Prizren League," said Vucic.

As he added, he does not even want to talk about Albright and her strength and power, because she has a huge influence, especially on the Democratic nomenclature.

Vucic also said that he knows US Democrats' presidential candidate Joe Biden very well, because he was also his guest, and they saw each other several times in Munich and Washington.

Madeleine Albright has said that the United States is not helping as much today as it used to work in resolving the dispute between Belgrade and Pristina.

In a statement made during a discussion at the US Congress Committee on Foreign Relations, which was chaired by Eliot Engel, she also said that the United States is not helping to resolve that issue.

Engel, a well-known Albanian lobbyist, said Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is currently pursuing a policy on Kosovo with an "iron fist" and "doing everything he can to undermine democracy in Kosovo," while trying to encourage other countries to revoke their recognition of Kosovo.

Engel assessed that it now seems that the United States is moving away from bilateral obligations it had assumed during previous administrations, starting with Clinton and Bush, and added that this saddens him.
