Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has apologized to his citizens for the voting procedure at the UN General Assembly on the resolution on Ukraine. The Serbian leader considers this step to be a "mistake" that resulted from "fatigue.
"I believe that Serbia made a mistake today. I apologize to the citizens of Serbia for this," Vucic said during an appearance on Hepi's Ćirilica show.
As for the American resolution, we voted exactly as we should have, we abstained. I think we should have abstained on the European resolution as well... I think Serbia should have abstained
As he said, he has no one to blame but himself.
"I haven't had time to deal with it enough, maybe I'm too tired, maybe I have too many things to do. I apologize first of all to the citizens of Serbia. The explanation I heard afterwards was that we would have reaffirmed our position on territorial integrity. Well, we would not have denied them and abstained," Vucic said.
