Vučić on Albanian President's visit to Bujanovac: 'He received all permits from Belgrade'

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić confirmed that Albanian President Bajram Begaj obtained all required permissions from Belgrade for his visit to Serbia.

Responding to inquiries from the Regional Information Agency JUGpress, Vučić addressed a potential alteration in Serbia's state protocol concerning the Albanian president's entry via the Končulj crossing from Kosovo. Traditionally, Serbian law and the constitution do not recognize administrative crossings from Kosovo as border crossings for foreign heads of state.

“

He received all permissions. They duly asked and received all permissions from the Serbian authorities. People who do not understand why it is so, I must just tell them, since I will not speak about it myself, just think about why it is so. And everything will become clear to you.

Vučić stated, "He received all permissions. They duly asked and received all permissions from the Serbian authorities." He cryptically advised those questioning the reasons to "just think about why it is so, and everything will become clear to you." He emphasized that Begaj was visiting as the President of Albania, not "the president of something else that wanted to present itself and come."

When asked about the presence of armed individuals providing security for the Albanian president in Bujanovac, which had caused public unease and speculation about their nationality, Vučić briefly responded, "Ours," indicating they were Serbian security personnel.
