Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic met on Wednesday in Brussels European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Brnabic said after the meeting that she felt "support and gratitude to Serbia during her visit to Brussels for not imposing countermeasures against Pristina, which in particular contributed to regional stability."
The only way for the dialogue on normalization of relations to continue is if Pristina withdraws its extremely unreasonable decisions. President Aleksandar Vucic said this in Brussels on Wednesday, in a conversation with President of the European Council Donald Tusk.
Vucic talked with Tusk about the situation in the region, Pristina's unlawful measures, and Serbia's EU integration, and on that occasion stressed that the only way to continue the dialogue is for Pristina to revoke its "extremely unreasonable decisions."
Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic reiterated on Tuesday in Brussels that the main foreign policy priority of Serbia is joining the EU. Brnabic said that "we can be even more efficient in the reforms that we conduct, primarily because of our citizens," the government announced.
