Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in Brussels on Wednesday evening that official Belgrade will respond seriously and responsibly if the authorities in Pristina apply to join the Council of Europe (CoE).

Earlier, Kosovo Foreign Minister Donika Gervala said that Pristina will apply for membership in CoE on Thursday.

Speaking before a dinner with EU High Representative Josep Borrell Vucic responded to her statement saying that “some people are obviously investing effort to destabilize the region and Serbia”.

“If they do apply, it’s clear that to them there is no Brussels Agreement, no Washington Agreement, no UN Security Council resolution 1244. They are completely destroying international legal order,” he said and added that the Serbian authorities will respond responsibly and seriously in order to strongly protect the country”.
