No Serbian daily news press reported on the statement of French President Emmanuel Macron who said that Serbia and Kosovo are European states and we need to help it become reality, and the state leadership did not react to it as well, Serbian Assembly independent MP Djordje Vukadinovic said, Danas daily reports.

According to Vukadinovic newspapers did not report on it probably out of a desire not to spoil good relations and positive environment related to the visit. This type of self-censorship of media and state leadership, Vukadinovic termed as “extremely harmful and counterproductive.”

He also asked the Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry why no one reacted “and politely and nicely” explained to the French Ambassador that “Kosovo is not Serbia’s neighbour” since such “incidental statement” hampers good environment of the visit, Danas daily reported.
