Brnabic: I do not expect agreement by October (RTS)
Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic commenting on media reports that Belgrade-Pristina agreement is expected by October this year, said the pressure is getting stronger however she does not expect the agreement would be made by then.
Speaking about delineation she noted it was not on the agenda, but it was one of the options. “This proposal was never on the table. Do I expect the agreement to be made by October? No, I do not. I have no reasons to believe so, because we are getting far from the dialogue and possible solution,” Brnabic said in Jahorina (B&H) where she is attending an economic forum.
Brnabic also said the dialogue existed and then Pristina started to slow it down. She noted Pristina disrespects the Brussels agreement for six years, the Community of Serb-majority Municipalities has not been established, although Belgrade fulfilled all its obligations. According to her, the EU that was a guarantor of the agreement did nothing to make Pristina fulfill it. Instead Pristina introduced a series of measures, including the 100 percent tariffs on the Serbian goods, establishment of the so-called Kosovo army and adoption of Pristina dialogue platform “which is contrary to everything dialogue is about.”
“I already said it and the President Aleksandar Vucic was also clear, the tariffs are our red line and Pristina must revoke that decision. We do not stand pressure and all our partners understand Serbia cannot be pressured any longer. We are reliable and serious partner and this is how they treat us,” Brnabic said.
