Mr. Vucic is a political descendant of the former Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic, who rose to power on the backs of Kosovo Serbs in the late 1980s. Mr. Vucic is no exception. In his visit to Kosovo over the weekend, Mr. Vucic was met by skeptical and tense crowds. Mr. Vucic’s critics accuse him of stoking those fears because they are politically useful, but he has also been trying to keep them in check. “What’s most important for us is to come up with additional mechanisms to fight crime and corruption within our own ranks,” Mr. Vucic said.
