Vučić with Ambassadors of the Quinta and the EU: Pristina risks conflict escalation

At the meeting held on Wednesday, President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić cautioned the ambassador of the countries of Quinta, i.e. the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany, as well as the Head of the EU Delegation in Serbia, of the possible ramifications of Pristina's latest reckless move to increase the tax on Serbian goods, whereby Pristina proceeded with their even harsher violations of the CEFTA Agreement.
