Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has said that Serbian authorities are considering the possibility of changing the course of the Ibar River in Serbian territory, linking this to, as he put it, the treatment of Serbs in Kosovo.
During a visit to the works on the old railway bridge in Belgrade, Vučić said that Serbia has already engaged experts and engineers to analyze this possibility.
"We have already invited experts who deal with this issue, engineers and other professionals. When they are mistreating our people so much, let's see - we have different reasons for changing the course of the Ibar and we will see what the Albanians will do and how they will behave," Vučić declared.
He stressed that Serbia will act in accordance with its interests, describing the country as a sovereign state.
"We are a sovereign state. Sometimes we have these interests, sometimes others, and we will behave accordingly," he said.
Speaking about the situation in Kosovo, Vučić claimed that Serbs are living in difficult circumstances and that Belgrade is closely following developments.
However, he ruled out the possibility of a military confrontation with NATO.
"It is very difficult. But is it an option for us at this moment to go to war with NATO? I think it is not," said the Serbian president. /Albanian Post
