00:00:00absolutely, we never
00:00:02gave up when it comes to Ukraine, we were never rivals on that
00:00:06issue, but truly sincere partners and
00:00:08friends, and everything that President
00:00:12Zelensky said, he said it exactly right and
00:00:15thank him for using it as an opportunity
00:00:19and we will continue to cooperate, I believe
00:00:23that there are many areas
00:00:27in which our cooperation can be doubled
00:00:30and tripled, otherwise, if you look at the trade
00:00:34exchange in 2025 and 2026 compared to what we
00:00:37had in 2020-21, so
00:00:40even before the war and after that, so
00:00:432022-23, that's a huge difference
00:00:47and I believe that in that regard, our trade
00:00:51exchange and exchange in the service sector can still
00:00:54grow. Dear Mihao, let me just add
00:00:57one more detail, so we will
00:01:00open a drone factory here, but with Israelis,
00:01:04we do it with Israelis, Ukrainians are very successful and
00:01:08have many of their own drone factories as far
00:01:11as that goes, so we will invite you here to the opening, I think it will be around
00:01:14September 15th or 20th, thank you very much, thank you Mr. President, thank you
00:01:18President Zelensky, dear colleagues, thank you, this concludes today's address,
00:01:22thank
00:01:23you,
00:01:29we saw that..." So, the address of the two presidents
00:01:32after the conversation, we will of course continue
00:01:35the analysis, first of all what Vučić and
00:01:38Zelensky said, we are returning to Berlin where Nikola
00:01:41Xavier from the German Council on Foreign Relations is waiting for us,
00:01:45thank you very much for still being here, for waiting
00:01:48for the end of this press conference, uh, President
00:01:52Vučić uh gave, let's say, a classic
00:01:56presentation, he said that he supports the charter, that
00:02:00Serbia supports the charter of the United Nations regarding the territorial
00:02:03integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, support for EU
00:02:07integrations, while President Zelensky started
00:02:11his presentation from the situation that happened
00:02:14last night, which is a new attack
00:02:16you rightly noticed that he actually avoided answering by Russia, he also expressed condolences
00:02:19to the victims, while President Vučić did
00:02:22not even mention it, he did mention that today they did not discuss
00:02:26military cooperation, so we heard a lot in the past
00:02:3045 minutes, 45 minutes,
00:02:33what is your view of everything you
00:02:36heard? Thank you for the question, the atmosphere is
00:02:40positive, but as I said at the beginning, the first
00:02:43item, if you take this transcript of this conversation and
00:02:47send it to the Kremlin, I don't think you can
00:02:50read it, that is,
00:02:53Schwarzkopf Gliss. My hair affects there will be no negative sentiments towards this in the Kremlin, of course they
00:02:57are not happy, but that's where
00:03:00diplomatic differences are always packaged
00:03:04with which one can live, I think
00:03:07that this visit also through this,
00:03:11through this press conference clearly
00:03:13shows that there was a formal part, an
00:03:17informal part and everything that, everything
00:03:20that is essentially delicate was left, that is,
00:03:24it was the subject of conversation during last night's
00:03:27extensive dinner, and everything that... is essentially
00:03:31symbolic and about which two states that are in
00:03:34normal relations can
00:03:38overcome, preempt the public, what I would like to
00:03:41mention here is essentially, if you
00:03:44listen carefully to President Zelensky's
00:03:48answer, it is that he essentially in some way
00:03:53that? adopted that vocabulary or the desire of the Serbian
00:03:57side to explain in the European Union
00:04:00that the process of European integration
00:04:04should not continue without one country, that is, he
00:04:08really said that Serbia should not be lost in that
00:04:11process, that is really a nice, nice
00:04:15gesture towards President Vučić, now how he argued
00:04:18it and why Zelensky
00:04:21voluntarily says it, remains to be seen, because if we make
00:04:25an analysis, it is not very clear how Serbia can
00:04:29get lost there. because in the conversation
00:04:32before this press conference we concluded that essentially
00:04:35there are not many options in this big
00:04:38multipolar world, however, where Serbia can
00:04:42and can flow. A very interesting question
00:04:45from a journalist from Franta Germania Zeitung who essentially
00:04:48insinuated and wanted to know if there was
00:04:51any progress in the idea of
00:04:55Serbia and Albania perhaps joining a single
00:04:59European market. Here, of course, that
00:05:02old cynicism of President Vučić who
00:05:06of course does not mention what needs to be
00:05:11something they live with, improved at home but rather
00:05:13places all the problems in the field, that is, in the European Union's backyard,
00:05:17and Zelensky, of course, here, as
00:05:20always, must dominate, state
00:05:24his, his problems and what he expects
00:05:28in return, and you see here, as I said at the beginning, you can see
00:05:32that Zelensky is a subject of international relations, a
00:05:34gravity around whom this press conference simply
00:05:38guides world interest, and Vučić is essentially an observing object
00:05:42who must adapt and be very sensitive,
00:05:46not to say something that could offend uh either
00:05:49Belgrade or Ukraine, because he knows that European partners
00:05:52are looking at the fact that there is essentially nothing that Belgrade can do there
00:05:56except uh a little
00:05:59flattery, mhm, you said that Moscow might not
00:06:02be dissatisfied, and President Vučić was asked
00:06:05a question by a Ukrainian journalist in which she specifically mentioned
00:06:09Putin and how... Putin can be influenced
00:06:13to end this war, while in response, Serbian President
00:06:16Aleksandar Vučić did not mention Putin once,
00:06:20he said that he cannot make serious assessments of whether the war will
00:06:24end soon, that he would like the war to end tomorrow, but that he is not sure
00:06:28that something like that will happen, uh, now if we go back to
00:06:31what we talked about earlier, those megaphones uh of the government
00:06:35uh in Moscow, Aleksandar Vulin, who told Russian media
00:06:39that the visit is not in line with the wishes of the citizens
00:06:42of Serbia, but represents pressure from Brussels, and when we take all that
00:06:46into account, uh, and the opposition here in Serbia, which
00:06:49did not clearly declare itself about this visit, the majority
00:06:52of the opposition did not even speak out,
00:06:56uh, how then do we interpret all that,
00:06:59did uh Belgrade upset Moscow
00:07:03or did it not upset it or did uh Aleksandar
00:07:07Vučić send some uh
00:07:10kind of, let's say, conciliatory message
00:07:13to Moscow? Well, in essence, President Aleksandar
00:07:16Vučić repeated what he clearly
00:07:20emphasized abroad last week in Switzerland in his
00:07:23interview, that is, he did not
00:07:26want to mention that Russia
00:07:29is responsible for the aggression on Ukraine, he said that
00:07:32the war, according to his impression, will not end quickly,
00:07:36that is something that, of course, all European leaders also say because
00:07:39they are aware that it is a performance
00:07:43of negotiations, that it is an illusion of peace negotiations,
00:07:46here I would say that we can
00:07:50expect that Vučić might go on a visit
00:07:54to Moscow in the next six months,
00:07:57but I really don't see why Vučić should worry too much about
00:08:01the sentiment in the Kremlin at this moment,
00:08:05because as I said at the beginning, I think that if this transcript
00:08:09is sent by diplomatic mail to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:08:13of Russia, there will be no big, no
00:08:17big problems there, also, what is important is, I didn't mention
00:08:21it last time, when you asked me, that this
00:08:25issue of partnership rivalry on the European
00:08:27path between Ukraine and Serbia
00:08:31is something that is, how can I say, always a tension,
00:08:35it is something that stands in, how can I say,
00:08:38in the space of diplomatic conversations on a general
00:08:43level. on the general platform of European
00:08:46integration between the so-called eastern
00:08:49enlargement and western enlargement, where of course it is always
00:08:52seen who will be better and faster, and here
00:08:56Vučić of course very nicely said that they
00:08:59are not against Ukraine getting some special status to open
00:09:03clusters, however, uh, also
00:09:06cynically, and I think that in the conversation at dinner
00:09:10he said even more cynically that that is also
00:09:13in that regard, it is very easy and
00:09:15pleasant for Vučić to mention that
00:09:19path as something that is great for Serbia if Ukraine
00:09:22progresses, that he has no problem with that and something
00:09:26that, as you asked me, will certainly be
00:09:30welcomed in the Baltic states because the Baltic
00:09:33states, for example, always say that Ukraine
00:09:36cannot wait for the Western
00:09:40Balkans, but that they actually have
00:09:43an advantage that they should get through
00:09:46their defense merits,
00:09:50that is exactly the line, that cautious line
00:09:53that President Vučić sends to his
00:09:56partners in the European Union who are not very well-disposed
00:10:00towards Belgrade, and maybe one last sentence
00:10:03for Moscow, I think that also
00:10:07this fact that we discussed, that there are no
00:10:11indications of this defense
00:10:14defense sector and drone production, at least formally,
00:10:17is something that essentially gives Vučić the advantage to
00:10:21say that this is a formal visit and that
00:10:25Moscow should not worry, because even that ammunition that was previously
00:10:29the subject of discussion is not
00:10:31anymore, drones will be made with the help of
00:10:35Israel, so here the entire tension
00:10:38is actually calmed, mhm, of course
00:10:41we will follow whether the President of Serbia, as usual, already tomorrow
00:10:45or in the coming days, will have a meeting with the Russian
00:10:48ambassador here in Serbia, Nikola, thank you

00:18:07Follow N1 live regarding the visit of the President of Ukraine
00:18:11to Serbia. About ten to fifteen
00:18:14minutes ago, the press conference of the two presidents
00:18:18in the Palace of Serbia ended. We are now going to where
00:18:22Aleksandra Gotfroa is waiting for us, Aleksandra,
00:18:25what could we hear at this conference, what didn't we
00:18:29hear, and what could be read between
00:18:31the lines.
00:18:36Well, perhaps the most indicative thing is what we heard at the very
00:18:40end, namely, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, claims that
00:18:43there was no discussion of any military cooperation, that
00:18:47Serbia is indeed building a drone factory, but with the Israelis, and that it will
00:18:51be opened in September. What is also indicative
00:18:54there is that it was the second time during
00:18:57his statements, statements by Aleksandar Vučić, that he
00:19:01said "after the war", so after the war, Serbia
00:19:04will discuss possible military cooperation, perhaps
00:19:08with Ukraine. He used the same formulation "after the war" in connection with
00:19:12closer foreign policy relations with
00:19:14Ukraine, foreign policy, joint appearance
00:19:18towards third countries. So, those
00:19:21analysts who spoke about the fact that
00:19:24Zelensky's arrival on an official visit to Serbia for the first time,
00:19:28we actually heard that he is actually the first Ukrainian president in eight
00:19:32years to come here, does not mean
00:19:35a change in Serbia's foreign policy,
00:19:39it does not mean turning away from
00:19:42Moscow, although we can say that the very act of Zelensky's
00:19:46arrival here is a kind of slap to Moscow,
00:19:50primarily a slap that comes from
00:19:52Kyiv and the European Union. What we could specifically
00:19:56hear during these statements, during these
00:19:59addresses, is that Serbia will send additional
00:20:03humanitarian aid to Ukraine, mostly medicines,
00:20:06it will also send humanitarian aid in
00:20:09the form of uh elements for
00:20:12Ukraine's power system. Ukrainian President
00:20:16Volodymyr Zelensky said that there is almost no
00:20:19power plant or power station in
00:20:22Ukraine that has not been damaged in these
00:20:25attacks. You rightly noted, Dušan, that there was
00:20:29a drastic difference in the tone and content of the statements of the two
00:20:32presidents, so the Ukrainian president began
00:20:36his speech with
00:20:39a report not from the front, but a report on civilian casualties in
00:20:43the last 24 hours in Ukraine, so
00:20:48it was added at the very end that
00:20:52Ukraine actually has neither the time nor can it afford
00:20:55to be skeptical about membership in the European
00:20:59Union, so obviously both Zelensky and
00:21:03Vučić said that they had talked for a long time
00:21:06about the topic of membership in the European Union, of course both countries
00:21:10will support each other on those paths, but
00:21:13unlike Ukraine, Aleksandar Vučić says
00:21:17that in Serbia there is great skepticism, he himself
00:21:20expressed skepticism that either Serbia or
00:21:24Ukraine will ever or in the near future become a member of that
00:21:27country. So, these are some forms of uh, or
00:21:31some, some things they talked about, which they announced
00:21:34to journalists, what they actually talked about and did not announce
00:21:38to journalists, we really cannot know at this
00:21:41moment. Again, Aleksandar Vučić claims that
00:21:45there was no discussion of any forms of military
00:21:48cooperation. This time, that is left
00:21:52for after the war, mhm, yes, Aleksandra, as you
00:21:55said, Volodymyr Zelensky started with
00:21:59the situation from last night in Ukraine,
00:22:02while Aleksandar Vučić had a protocol stance, so,
00:22:06he mentioned that Serbia and Ukraine are friendly countries, that Serbia
00:22:09supports the United Nations Charter, UN resolution,
00:22:13there is also support for EU integrations, as
00:22:16you said, however, it was an interesting question
00:22:19uh... so the Ukrainian journalist who asked him how
00:22:22Putin can be influenced to end
00:22:26this war, while Aleksandar Vučić in his answer did not
00:22:30even mention Vladimir Putin by name, but said that he cannot
00:22:34make serious assessments about when and how the
00:22:37war will end, that he
00:22:40would like the war to end tomorrow, but that it is not possible,
00:22:44uh, so, uh, he avoided mentioning
00:22:47Russia in any way, even to a direct question
00:22:51from Ukrainian journalists in which they mention uh Vladimir
00:22:55Putin,
00:22:59that's right, so he didn't mention Moscow, the Kremlin, or Putin
00:23:02in his statements and
00:23:06that question, he simply said that he cannot speculate when the war will
00:23:10end, but that he fears it will last
00:23:14a long, long time, uh, it wouldn't
00:23:16be questionable perhaps to mention Russia, Putin,
00:23:20in front of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who came here on an
00:23:24official visit, so perhaps it wouldn't be
00:23:27either, I don't know if it would be according to protocol, but it certainly wouldn't be according to
00:23:30some kind of home schooling,
00:23:34again it is completely clear from the content of what was
00:23:37stated that the policy will not change, also Aleksandar
00:23:41Vučić did not say "we will never impose sanctions on Russia,"
00:23:45which is something he never fails to say every time
00:23:48he mentions and means in the past that Serbia respects
00:23:52the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, this
00:23:56time the emphasis was precisely on this first part, as well as on the fact
00:23:59that Ukraine respects the territorial integrity of Serbia and
00:24:03does not recognize Kosovo. Volodymyr Zelensky said that this
00:24:06policy will not change, that Ukraine will not
00:24:09recognize Kosovo and will respect the territorial integrity
00:24:12of Serbia as it respects the territorial integrity of all other
00:24:15UN member states, finally demanding that it
00:24:18also be respected.
00:24:21Aleksandra, thank you very much for this report, Aleksandra reported
00:24:25from the Palace of Serbia. And about
00:24:28how Washington sees this visit,
00:24:31especially the mention of European media,
00:24:34the role of Christopher Hill, former US ambassador, in connecting
00:24:37Belgrade and Kyiv on the issue of weapons, Edward Joseph
00:24:41from John Hopkins University spoke
00:24:44about this for N1 earlier. Let's watch that too.
00:24:47Mr. Joseph, thank you for
00:24:50speaking to N1.
00:24:53Glad to be with you,
00:24:56Dusan. Mr. Joseph, Zelensky
00:25:00is coming to Serbia, various
00:25:03topics are on the table, how do you see this
00:25:06visit, especially considering
00:25:09that it comes at a time when Ukraine says it
00:25:13lacks weapons for defense against
00:25:16Russia.
00:25:19First of all. This is a very important visit and no one
00:25:23should doubt it, and when all is said and done,
00:25:26it is very positive, because first of all, it sends
00:25:29a very important message throughout
00:25:32Serbia, but also to Serbia's neighbors,
00:25:36that there is no chance that
00:25:38Russia will win this war, because why
00:25:42would Belgrade, why would President
00:25:46Vučić invite the president of a country that
00:25:49will lose the war, so everyone in Serbia who
00:25:52is pro-Russian oriented, everyone in
00:25:55Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, anywhere in the neighborhood, and
00:25:59even in Bulgaria, who thinks
00:26:02that Russia will somehow win,
00:26:05I think that President Zelensky's visit
00:26:09sends a strong message that this is simply not
00:26:12the case, that he is actually
00:26:15a winner, from the NATO summit he emerged as
00:26:18a winner, which President Trump and other NATO
00:26:22allies acknowledged as an increasingly strong leader of an exceptional
00:26:26and resilient country, but despite all that,
00:26:29Dušan, this visit will not change Serbia's position.
00:26:33It will not change the way President Vučić
00:26:36manipulates the situation with his relationship with
00:26:40Vladimir Putin and
00:26:42Russia. Yes, so what does this
00:26:46visit bring to Aleksandar Vučić?
00:26:49Well, for him it is, you see, a matter of prestige. Let's not
00:26:53forget, President Zelensky is one of
00:26:57the most recognizable,
00:26:59certainly one of the most respected figures in
00:27:03the world, he occupies a very
00:27:06prominent place on the world stage, he met with
00:27:10President Trump in the Oval Office multiple times, he wasTELEVISION NEWS TRANSCRIPT:
00:27:13in the spotlight at the recent NATO summit,
00:27:17he was a star there where he gave a speech,
00:27:21so, for President Vučić, it represents
00:27:24recognition and prestige, especially at a time
00:27:28when he continues to face serious protests
00:27:31and widespread opposition from
00:27:35Serbian citizens to his rule,
00:27:38so, there is a prestige factor, but
00:27:41no one should be under any illusion that this
00:27:45will in any way change Serbia's stance,
00:27:49even President Vučić stated that Serbia will not
00:27:52change its stance on sanctions against Russia,
00:27:56so, there should be no illusions about
00:27:59that, but despite that, this is also a very significant
00:28:03visit, yes, but how will he explain it to his pro-Russian
00:28:06voters, who make up the majority of his voters, how will he
00:28:10explain this visit do you expect
00:28:13it yes, yes,
00:28:16go on,
00:28:18yes, sorry, he already started explaining it, he's playing
00:28:21the card of Kosovo
00:28:24and saying, well, look,
00:28:28Ukraine doesn't recognize Kosovo, and Kosovo wasn't
00:28:32present.
00:28:34That's how President Vučić will present it, but
00:28:38that's not an argument, it's not a strong argument
00:28:41anywhere, because first of all, there is absolutely
00:28:44no comparison between NATO
00:28:48bombing in 1999 and Russian actions against
00:28:51Ukraine, starting from 2014,
00:28:54as well as this severe,
00:28:57brutal aggression that continues
00:29:01with night bombings of Kyiv with direct targeting
00:29:04of civilian targets in Ukraine and civilian
00:29:08infrastructure, so that argument doesn't
00:29:11hold up. What's more, when
00:29:14these two cases are compared, Vladimir Putin
00:29:18is the one who benefits from such
00:29:21a comparison. Vladimir Putin is the one who
00:29:24tries to make the argument: Look, NATO did
00:29:27that to Serbia, I can do that to Ukraine. And as some in
00:29:31Serbia have noticed. This represents tacit recognition
00:29:34of Kosovo by Vladimir Putin, but
00:29:38the German Faz states that one of the topics will be the opening,
00:29:41i.e. the possibility of building a drone factory in
00:29:45Serbia, do you think that is even possible given
00:29:48Belgrade's relationship with Moscow and how
00:29:52Moscow would react to
00:29:55I would not rule out the possibility that it
00:29:59is possible, I don't know if... it will actually
00:30:02happen, Serbia previously concluded
00:30:05an agreement with an Israeli company
00:30:08regarding drone production, but
00:30:12that is certainly a possibility. Ukraine has
00:30:16shown impressive resilience precisely why
00:30:18Serbs, i.e. all Serbs who harbor
00:30:22certain support for Russia or Vladimir Putin should
00:30:26reconsider this. Russia is a failing country,
00:30:29all it does is send thousands
00:30:33of people, thousands of young Russians to their death
00:30:36for a futile goal, it is a country that
00:30:39is failing. Ukraine, on the other hand,
00:30:42is a globally recognized leader in drone technology, and
00:30:45that is a strong reason for those in
00:30:49Serbia, who still hold some
00:30:52strange pro-Russian sympathies, to
00:30:56change their minds.
