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.
Upitan zašto DSS-u ne smeta što kancelarije u Briselu imaju srpski gradovi Niš i Kragujevac, ali im smeta vojvođanska, Ilić je odgovorio da su vojvođanske vlasti tražile specijalan status za svoje predstavnike, kao i diplomatske pasoše.
