During a tour of the House of e-Governance and the creative-innovative, multifunctional and digital center Lozionica, which was opened today, Vucic responded to a journalist who asked him to comment on president of so-called Kosovo Vjose Osmani saying that he tried to "spoil" the meeting in Durres.

The president said that he did not offend anyone, nor say a single bad word to anyone, and now assumes that he "offended" them by telling them their stories about territorial integrity make his stomach turn.

Vucic added that when Osmani said Pristina "wanted and would continue to insist on its statehood," he responded that he was always happy to see her as a tourist at the United Nations, since it was good for her "to see the view of the East River, and be able to take a walk there."

"Imagine a representative of a fake state coming up to you and tellomg you about territorial integrity, what do you expect? For the president of Serbia not to react? You expect me to keep my mouth shut when the Slovenian representative thinks we have no right to speak our minds? I didn't use any ugly or rude words. I was only talking about territorial integrity, about the UN Charter, Resolution 1244. I strongly represented the policies of Serbia and Serbian interests," stressed Vucic.

He added that when Croatian President Zoran Milanovic was saying the military alliance between Croatia, Albania and Pristina is merely a set of memorandums, he replied, "even if it is memorandums, now you are going to jointly purchase weapons" and that a military alliance is not created just like that.

"Then Begaj (Albanian president) said it was a defensive alliance, and I said that every alliance that has never existed claimed to be defensive. I have never heard of a single military or war alliance that was created with the (stated) aim of attacking someone else. They always say it's defensive, but in the end it almost never is," President Vucic concluded.
