I won't criticize him this day only. Yes, he supports EU integration but this is a slap to the fce to his masters in Brussels and hints he wanted EU integration but retaking back Kosovo, which nationalists want not the EU integration.
He won't attend the commemoration of the 100 years of the battle of Ypres because there are flags that display the illegal Republic of Kosovo Albanians.
"Although it was planned for the president to take part in the gathering and honor the soldiers of the victor-countries in the First World War, the president will not travel to Belgium," Nikolić's press office announced, and added:
"The reason is the information received from organizers that symbols of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo will be displayed during the ceremony."
The statement further noted that Nikolić in August took part in another WW1 centenary event, held in Liege, Belgium, when symbols of all countries that emerged victorious from the war were displayed, "but not of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo."
"Moreover," added the statement, "that minority (ethnic Albanians in Kosovo) had no role in the First World War that would place it among the victors and equalize its treatment to that of Serbia."
"The displaying of symbols of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo is unacceptable to Serbia, therefore the president cannot take part in the ceremony tomorrow," the presidential press office said on Monday.

From a pro-Serb and pro-neutrality position, Albania didn't have a role in WWI victory, so why display the crappy flag or show some pride on colonialists?
