Government fully supports Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija

Belgrade, 5 November 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated today that the representatives of the Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, by deciding to suspend their participation in the temporary institutions of self-government in Pristina, only defended international public law and the Brussels Agreement.

"With this, our people in Kosovo and Metohija said that they only want peace, that they believe in the rule of law and that they believe in all those partners from the international community who participated in the achievement of various agreements during the past years – above all, the Brussels Agreement as the first agreement on normalisation, and then all others, including the issue of registration plates.

In their fight for peace, stability, the rule of law and respect for all signed agreements, they will always have full support of the government of Serbia.

The hysteria in the political public and the media in Pristina is an example of absurdity, because it not only about provoking conflicts, but a peaceful and democratic reaction that is a response to the continuous unilateral violation of the agreement, disrespecting both the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and the European Union as the guarantor of the Brussels Agreement.

The parallels that the extremists in Pristina draw with Ukraine and Donbas are tasteless, inappropriate and incoherent, but they speak volumes to the whole world about those who use them.

During the previous decade, Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija have shown patience and tolerance, precisely because they want peace and because they believe in the rule of law.

Every year, the number of attacks on Serbs increased, their property was illegally confiscated, the rare returnees were most brutally mistreated and deported again, innocent people were arrested and sentenced contrary to the Brussels Agreement, they also experienced that their right to vote, as a basic democratic right, was denied, and did not have a single reaction that would threaten peace.

Now they are simply cornered and continue to use only and exclusively democratic means in the struggle for bare survival.

Once again – the only thing they want is to see the implementation of the signed agreements and nothing more.

The government of the Republic of Serbia remains firmly committed to preserving peace and stability in the region and stands by our brave and dignified people in Kosovo and Metohija," Prime Minister Brnabic’s statement reads.
