Charges allege Vucic in secret talks with Pristina

The intellectuals, including several from Kosovo, said that the charges were filed against Vucic because of the constitutional significance of the president and possible harmful effects to the state and the population.  

They demanded an immediate reaction from the authorities to check their allegations and order an investigation. “The charges also cover the fact that Vucic, as head of state, has formulated his personal idea through a personal platform to resolve the Kosovo problem through an unconstitutional separation and exchange of territory. It has been offered in the form of a private deal to the illegal bodies in Pristina and (Kosovo President) Hashim Thaci in an obvious abuse of power,” they said.  

The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo Marko Djuric said that charges are a “cowardly attack” on Vucic and Serbia prior to the decisive stage of the battle for Kosovo. Djuric said the charges were filed by members of the former regime who did everything to hand over Kosovo and denied the claim in the charges that secret negotiations were under with Pristina.
