Na pitanje da li ti sporazumi predstavljaju indirektno priznanje Kosova, Simić je izjavio kako "Beograd itekako zna koje su crvene linije u dijalogu s Prištinom i kako ih vlada Srbije neće prijeći."
Asked whether the agreements were an indirect recognition of Kosovo, Simic said that "Belgrade knows full well what the red lines are in the dialogue with Pristina and that the Serbian government will not cross them."
