Asked why DSS had no problem with the fact that the Serbian cities of Nis and Kragujevac have offices in Brussels, but object to Vojvodina's, Ilic replied that Vojvodina authorities had asked for special status for their representatives, as well as for diplomatic passports.
Na pitanje zašto DSS-u ne smeta što urede u Bruxellesu imaju srpski gradovi Niš i Kragujevac, ali im smeta vojvođanski ured, Ilić je odgovorio da su vojvođanske vlasti zatražile poseban status za svoje predstavnike, kao i diplomatske putovnice.
