"You must arrest Radoicic", the condition that Macron imposed on Vucic to visit Belgrade

The head of the European Movement of Serbs in Kosovo, Rada Trajkovic, has revealed that the arrest of Milan Radoicic was one of the conditions for the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Belgrade.

In an interview with BETA, Trajkovic said that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic would have to arrest Radoicic over the events in Banjska within the next month, when Macron's visit was expected to take place.

The Kosovo Serb politician recalled that during Vu?i?'s visit to France last April, Macron said it was important that the participants in the attack in Banjska be arrested.

"Vucic is under considerable international pressure because of his close associate Milan Radoicic. The United States has agreed to try him in Belgrade, meaning there is no pressure to extradite Radoicic and his group to Pristina. Vucic promised that Radoicic would be tried, and the expectation is that he will be arrested before the arrival of French President Emmanuel Macron," explained Trajkovic.

Trajkovic has emphasized that it is much easier for Vucic to give up a part of Serbia's territory and accept the use of lithium mines, than to give up the people who followed his orders. She also said that the arrest of Radoicic would pose a great danger to Vucic.

"If Serbian justice starts dealing with Banjska and Radoicic, it would be an opportunity for various foreign services to provide intelligence data, as in some other trials of organized criminal groups. In that case, Vucic would not be able to save Radoicic from being held accountable for his actions," she said.

Asked if there is a possibility that the West will forgive Vucic "for the Banjska case", Trajkovic said that Europe is guided by its priorities.

Commenting on the fact that the president of Serbia rarely mentions Kosovo in his daily speeches, Trajkovic said that Vucic is trying to hide his "dirty laundry".

"Vucic is trying to hide his failure. He wants the people to forget Kosovo. His media machine has now been given the new task of promoting the opening of the lithium mine. I hope that the people in central Serbia will not fall for false promises, as happened to the Serbs in Kosovo," said Trajkovic.
