Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović says for the RTV program Gračanica that the prohibition for children to cross the administrative crossing Merdare and Đeneral Janković is just a trend that exists.

"Serbs are facing pressure, so that we loosen our political views. All those who are a bit politically literate and understand our attitude to these issues, should know that our opinions when comes to the most important issues would be even tougher and that any complication of our daily lives cannot change our attitudes. They're trying to complicate life, people are left at Merdare, it is impossible for children to travel on school trips," said Stojanović.

"We're used to problems, but this shows that the climate is not good. The policy has made a negative atmosphere without creating enough space for us, where one can hear our arguments and understand. Now is created a general atmosphere in which life of Serbs is being complicated at any moment" Stojanović said.
