At an extraordinary press conference held in the Serbian parliament Saturday, Stevanovic told all those who have sent death threats to Vucic that they cannot destroy the government, and read out two of the large number of text messages sent to Vucic's cell phone by, as the parliament speaker said, "political cowards and criminals."
Stefanovic said that it is a shame such messages are being sent to Vucic, who "worked hard, struggled and pulled out a deal in Brussels that is better than all former ones and that Serbs in northern Kosovo-Metohija will benefit from."
"We have not and we will not recognize Kosovo's independence. I am sorry that there are those who are trying to present things in a different light," Stefanovic underlined, adding that as much as everyone refers to the Dayton Accord today so they will refer to the Brussels agreement "as something that will be useful for the preservation of the Serbian people's interests" in the future.
Stefanovic, who is also deputy leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), said that the SNS is behind Vucic and supports all the decisions he is making.
