Brnabic said that the non-implementation of the Brussels Agreement, the introduction of a 100% tax on products from central Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the formation of an army of the so-called Kosovo and the adoption of the platform are the moves that have the same goal, which is the end of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and the radicalisation of relations.
She added that through a responsible policy, Belgrade showed that the dialogue is the only instrument for reaching a compromise solution and a long-term normalisation of the relations between the Serbs and Albanians.
We are always committed to peace and dialogue, but Pristina and all of our partners must know that there are red lines that we will never cross, Brnabic pointed out, adding that Belgrade's rational behavior should not be interpreted as a weakness but as a commitment to finding a compromise.
The US official said that the United States will continue to insist on the abolition of Pristina’s tariffs on goods from central Serbia, in order to open the way for the continuation of the dialogue on the normalisation of relations.
He expressed his gratitude to Belgrade for not taking reciprocal measures and added that for the United States the agreement between the Serbs and Albanians would be reached, in order to ensure stability in the region and enable faster economic development.
According to Hale, such an agreement must be acceptable both for Belgrade and Pristina.
Brnabic expressed her gratitude to the US official for support and pointed out that Serbia wants to improve relations with the United States at all levels.
