How Vučić lied about the meeting with Von der Leyen

The European Commission has rejected Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić’s claims that he had a “long conversation” with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Aleksandar Vučić had told pro-government media that he had spoken to Von der Leyen for 30 minutes and said that they had never spoken about bilateral cooperation for so long.

However, EU spokesperson Stefan de Keersmaecker responded to a journalist’s question about Vučić’s statement by saying that the conversation had been informal.

He clarified that it had been a brief exchange and not an official meeting.

“President von der Leyen had an informal, spontaneous conversation with President Vučić in the reception room before the official dinner in Seville.”

“During this event, she had the opportunity to exchange a few words with many leading politicians, including President Vučić. Therefore, it was not an official bilateral meeting,” said Keersmaecker.

Kako je Vučić lagao o sastanku sa Fon der Lajen

Evropska komisija je odbacila tvrdnje predsednika Srbije Aleksandra Vučića da je vodio „dug razgovor“ sa predsednicom Evropske komisije Ursulom fon der Lajen.

Aleksandar Vučić je provladinim medijima rekao da je razgovarao sa Fon der Lajen 30 minuta i da nikada nisu tako dugo razgovarali o bilateralnoj saradnji.

Međutim, portparol EU Stefan de Kersmeker je odgovorio na pitanje novinara o Vučićevoj izjavi rekavši da je razgovor bio neformalan.

Pojasnio je da je to bila kratka razmena, a ne zvanični sastanak.

„Predsednica fon der Lajen je vodila neformalan, spontan razgovor sa predsednikom Vučićem u sali za prijem pre zvanične večere u Sevilji.“

„Tokom ovog događaja, imala je priliku da razmeni nekoliko reči sa mnogim vodećim političarima, uključujući predsednika Vučića. Stoga, to nije bio zvanični bilateralni sastanak“, rekao je Kersmeker./The Geopost/
