（观察者网讯）塞尔维亚总统武契奇3月17日表示，在他看来，世界正处于第三次世界大战爆发的边缘，而他及其他政府成员“唯一的任务是拯救塞尔维亚，远离战争”。武契奇反复警告称，美西方和俄罗斯正孤注一掷，将“和平”二字抛掷脑后，因此塞尔维亚现阶段应保持冷静和理智，不应卷入其中。

据塞尔维亚执政党前进党网站和武契奇个人网站消息，当天，武契奇在该国斯雷姆斯卡-米特罗维察市视察，并在城市广场发表公开讲话。
“在去年2月24日（俄乌冲突爆发）后，一切都变了，如今再次发生了天翻地覆的变化”，谈到俄乌冲突和国际形势时，武契奇的语气难掩担忧。他说，就目前来看，美西方和俄罗斯“都不会让步”，双方将“孤注一掷，直至相互毁灭”。
他进一步指出，世界上正在发生一些事情，“巨大的危险”正笼罩着塞尔维亚家，“但有些事情不能公开谈论”；但“可以肯定的是，世界正在加速朝冲突的进一步升级迈进”。
据武契奇所说，西方最近用行动表明，他们将坚持到底，且不太担心冲突可能进一步升级，而这对世界各国来说都十分艰难。“这意味着，在乌克兰的血腥冲突停止之前，冲突之水将流过多瑙河、萨瓦河、第聂伯河和伏尔加河（均为欧洲大陆河流）。”
武契奇提到了瑞典和芬兰申请加入北约的最新进展：17日早些时候，土耳其和匈牙利一改以往坚决反对的立场，为两国入约“开绿灯”。
“这也表明，西方计划对所有迄今为止没有强烈反俄的国家施加额外压力”，武契奇解读道，“我们的朋友土耳其，在某种程度上还有匈牙利，看看他们过去三天内态度的变化就知道了”。他补充说，西方正发出信号，即“任何被认为与普京亲近、甚至是讨论俄罗斯的人，都将遭受严重后果”。
武契奇直言：“好像每个人都疯了。你不能和任何人冷静理智地交谈。没有人想要和平，更糟糕的事情还在后面……当一列火车驶出车站时，没有什么能阻止它。”他担心世界正处于第三次世界大战爆发的边缘，因为现在的局势同一战、二战爆发前夕很像。
他告诉在场民众，如今，在国际局势中存在一个禁忌词语——和平。
对于未来形势和应对措施，武契奇目标明确，即将“国家和民族的船只”带到安全的港口，避免卷入冲突和战争。他强调，“我们唯一的任务是拯救塞尔维亚”，因此国内各方应保持冷静和理智，不得不更加谨慎地考虑未来的每一步行动。
俄乌冲突后，塞尔维亚没有跟随美西方国家脚步，明确表示不会对俄制裁。同时，武契奇多次坦言受到来自美西方的巨大压力，并预言俄乌冲突局势将持续恶化。
2月21日，武契奇在阿布扎比防务展上表示，目前“弹药非常抢手”，各国正在提高军事预算和抢购武器装备，“为接下来的战争做准备”。谈到俄乌冲突时，武契奇认为世界形势将越来越困难，因为没有人接受中间方案，只想战胜对方，“我们必须保护我们的国家”。
We are in a kind of Third World War: Serbian president

Tensions in Kosovo escalated accordingly with the war in Ukraine, says Aleksandar Vucic

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic delivered an ominous warning Thursday on the dangers surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war, noting that remaining silent over it is not an option.
“Today we are witnessing a kind of Third World War, which will become larger, wider and more severe than today in the coming days, weeks and months. Mark my words,” he said during a session of parliament.
“In a whirlwind of war, you…cannot be neutral, remain silent, hide under a rock, because they will not allow you to do that," he added.
Vucic's remarks came at a session of the National Assembly, where a Franco-German plan supported by the US and the European Union was comprehensively discussed in resolving the Kosovo issue.
"Kosovo is more than a political agenda for me,” he said, adding the issue has been an ongoing problem for 600 years.
According to Vucic, Kosovo launched a political attack as the war in Ukraine began on Feb. 24 last year.
"They see us as the enemy, and they persecute our people. There are attacks on the Serbs in Kosovo. All of these are against the Brussels Treaty. They created lots of problems,'' he said.
Vucic said the most difficult part of the Franco-German plan is the condition that Serbia does not oppose Kosovo's participation in any international organization.
Meanwhile, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti addressed deputies in parliament in Pristina, where he presented six conditions for establishing a union of Serb municipalities, which is one of the conditions of the plan.
Kurti said its formation should be preceded by a final agreement with Belgrade and the unions would not be able to have executive powers.
Kosovo-Serbia dialogue process
The European Union requires Kosovo and Serbia to reach a final agreement that can resolve issues between the two countries for progress in the integration process.
Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, with most UN member states including the US, the UK, France, Germany and Türkiye recognizing it as a separate autonomous country from its neighbor. But Belgrade continues to regard it as its territory.
Lately, the parties have been negotiating what is popularly known as the Franco-German proposal, supported by the US and all EU members.
President Vucic said last October that Germany and France offered to expedite Serbia’s EU membership process if it recognized Kosovo’s independence and allowed it to become a member of international organizations.
According to the proposal, which was leaked to the media, Kosovo should allow the establishment of a union of Serbian municipalities in the north, where Serbs mostly live.
EU officials hope negotiations on the plan will be completed in the spring.
Brussels has facilitated the Serbia-Kosovo dialogue.
