Pristina's moves have negative impact on stability of region

Belgrade, 14 March 2019

Prime Minister Ana Brnabić, met today with Director General for Political Affairs at the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office Richard Moore to discuss expanding the overall cooperation with the United Kingdom, as well as the consequences of the collapse of the dialogue in Brussels.

Brnabic pointed out that the introduction of taxes, the formation of the Kosovo army and the voting of the platform are the moves that Pristina demonstrates not to think about the dialogue, and to reject any possibility of seeking a compromise solution.

She stressed that Pristina's behaviour has a negative impact on the lives of all citizens in Kosovo-Metohija, regardless of their nationality, but also on the stability of the entire region.

Such moves are counterproductive, the Prime Minister assessed, expressing hope at the same time that adequate pressure from the international community would be brought about leading to the abolition of taxes and creating the conditions for the dialogue to continue.

Brnabic also expressed her gratitude to the United Kingdom for being willing to continue through the Good Governance Fund to assist projects that are related to the necessary reforms that will speed up the process of Eurointegration.

At the same time, the Prime Minister expressed her willingness to redefine and improve economic relations with the United Kingdom after Brexit.

The Foreign Office's Director-General for Political Affairs said that it is necessary to continue efforts to find a way to reach a compromise solution for Kosovo.
