“I can not participate in a conversation if people are portraying me as somebody who is trying to establish greater Serbia. I am not Tsar [king] Dušan.”
“The generations of the past failed to unite Serbia and to establish a common Serbian state, which should include all Serbian national, ethnic and historical territories.”
“We, as the winners [of WW1 & WW2], created a common country [ Yugoslavia] with our enemies [Croats & Muslims], who were on the defeated side [ Central Powers & Axis Powers].”
“We Serbs are the only nation, on this planet, who decided to unite with people who tried to exterminate us and were our enemies.”
“I have no intention to create greater Serbia, neither to re-establish the former Byzantium. I am only defending my nation and my country.”
