Visit of Ursula von der Leyen comes at important moment for region

Belgrade, 29 September 2021

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated today that the visit of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to the countries of the Western Balkans is very important at this moment, especially because the agreement on the works on the Highway of Peace from Nis to Pristina will be signed in her presence.

Brnabic said in a statement to Television Happy that with this act Serbia gives different prospects to the entire region, especially for the young, and underlined that Belgrade wants to talk about roads, schools, education and Pristina about weapons, and therefore the two sides give totally different prospects.

She underlined that Serbia has a lot to lose if stability is jeopardised, bearing in mind the results it has achieved.

We have results as never before in the history of our country and that is why we must keep regional stability, but there are countries in the region, actually their presidents, who cannot talk responsibly about results in that sense, the Prime Minister noted.

She added that her best meeting during her recent visit to New York was with US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, who highly appreciates Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and knows very well the situation in the Balkans.

I was encouraged when I saw that she fully understands what is going on, but it is a question of how much that will affect their reactions on the ground, the Prime Minister concluded.
