Exclusive: Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić

Peace in Kosovo has long been fragile, and tensions with its neighbor Serbia are right now drawing international concern. The roots of these tensions run deep. In 1999, the United States and allies defended Kosovar Albanians from brutal ethnic cleansing and abuse by Serbia. Afterwards, Kosovo declared independence in 2008, which Serbia does not recognize, although the EU has been mediating dialogue aimed at normalizing the relationship. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić joins the show from Belgrade for an exclusive interview.
