President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday that conflicts should not be left behind for future generations.

“We can’t leave conflicts to the younger generations, we have to finish them, do everything to put an end to death and secure life for the future,” he said after laying a wreath at a monument in the city of Krusevac to medieval Serbian warriors who fought the Ottoman Turks at the battle of Kosovo in 1389. The anniversary of the battle is marked on St Vitus day, June 28, which Vucic said is “the symbol of the greatness of our people”.

Krusevac marked the 650th anniversary of its formation on June 28. The Serbian government is meeting in special session in Krusevac on Monday, with Vucic attending.

He said that Serbia is a free and freedom-loving country whose fate is decided only by its citizens. “Freedom is sacred as is peace, they are the most valuable together,” Vucic said. He said that “the Serb people in Kosovo will see who will defend and who did not safeguard Kosovo”.
