Implementation of Brussels Agreement necessary

Belgrade, 12 October 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic pointed out today that before starting discussions on some other solutions on the normalisation of relations with Pristina, it is necessary to implement the Brussels Agreement, which also stipulates the establishment of the Community of Serbian Municipalities.

Answering the questions of journalists at the conference regarding the start of works on the rehabilitation of the landslide at the Vinca-Belo Brdo archaeological site, Brnabic pointed out that the pressures regarding Kosovo and Metohija are increasing, because certain international factors want to see the resolution of this open issue so that no one could refer to that precedent and justify some other actions.

We have never shied away from solving that issue and finding a way to reach a mutually acceptable compromise solution that will mean the long-term normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, the Prime Minister stressed.

She said that an agreement requires two parties that are ready to talk about a compromise, and that at the moment we are not even close to a solution that must be a compromise, adding that finding a solution will ensure the normalisation of relations, the safety of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and prosperity for Albanians.

The Prime Minister assessed that the Serbian side is the only one ready to speak in a courageous and responsible manner, reminding that it will be ten years next April since the signing of the Brussels Agreement.

Pristina has done nothing to implement a single obligation, which is the first agreement on normalisation, Brnabic said and asked how is it possible to find a final solution in a situation where Pristina and the European Union could not guarantee the implementation of the first agreement on normalisation for ten years.

Answering the question about the introduction of sanctions against Russia, the Prime Minister stated that Serbia does not want to do it, because it is not in our best interest, adding that our country is in a specific position.

The Prime Minister reiterated that Serbia is not neutral regarding the events in Ukraine and that we clearly condemned the aggression, with the view that it is a flagrant violation of international law and an attack on the territorial integrity of an internationally recognised state.

She reminded that Serbia joined all the declarations and resolutions in the United Nations and the EU that condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine, adding that we clearly said that we will not recognise the results of the referendum conducted in four regions of Ukraine.
