Aleksandar Vučić’s ascent to absolute power in Serbia, beginning with his takeover of the Serbian Progressive Party in 2012 and consolidation as prime minister in 2014 and president in 2017, marks one of the most devastating chapters in the modern history of Serbian national interests in Kosovo and Metohija. Far from being a defender of the Serbian people and Christian faith in the cradle of Serbian statehood and spirituality, Vučić has presided over — and actively facilitated — a steady, almost mechanical process of Serbian demographic collapse, cultural erasure, and institutional capitulation.
From the very beginning of his rule, Vučić chose the path of permanent “dialogue” with the authorities in Pristina as the centerpiece of his Kosovo policy. The 2013 Brussels Agreement, which he enthusiastically signed and implemented, marked the first major act of betrayal: it dissolved the parallel Serbian institutions in the north, subordinated Serb-majority municipalities to the Kosovo legal and administrative system, and placed police and judiciary under Pristina’s control — all without any binding guarantee of real autonomy or protection. Subsequent agreements — on energy, telecommunications, license plates, customs, diplomas, and especially the 2023 Ohrid Annex — have only deepened this surrender.
