The Serbian National Assembly Speaker Ivica Dacic says that the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, will, if a change occurs in the US administration, find a way for Serbia to have good relations with that country.

He told Kopernikus TV that it is not up to Serbia to make certain assessments of candidates, but that the Trump administration undoubtedly had a more positive attitude.

"Regardless of who becomes president, Serbia will continue to have good relations with America. Biden also met with President Vucic several times, he came here three times to visit," said Dacic.

Asked whether the Washington Agreement would remain in force if Joseph Biden wins the US presidential election, Dacic said that the United States is a strategic partner for Serbia and that Serbia signed the agreement regardless of who the president of the United States is.

"We shouldn't gloat"

Commenting on the indictments against high-ranking officials of the former KLA, Dacic said that Serbia can only welcome the fact that the court has started working on its obligation - to put on trial the crimes committed by the KLA against Serbs.

He said that in the last year, there was great pressure from Pristina to abolish that court and bring it from The Hague to Pristina, while Serbia, in his opinion, has been constructive in the investigation of war crimes, regardless of who committed them.

Dacic said that there are five (mass) graves in Kosovo and Metohija, which are pointed out to by the investigative bodies from central Serbia, but that no one reacts to it.

"Crimes committed against Serbs should be punished. We should not gloat, but allow the prosecution and the court do their job," said Dacic.
