"Europe cannot impose us conditions for integration by taking us away from our tradition", Kusturica said.

"Kosovo is in the heart of Serbian identity and Serbia is in the heart of Europe, on the frontier between the East and the West", the director of "Underground" and "Time of the Gypsies" said in an interview to French "Liberation".
