Economic cooperation contributes to calming tensions in region

Belgrade, 22 December 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated today that the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija only want peace, stability and their rights, which are guaranteed to them by the existing agreements, which the Pristina side is constantly violating.

Brnabić, in a statement for Hepi TV, pointed out that President of the Republic Aleksandar Vucic took all initiatives in order to calm tensions in Kosovo and Metohija and preserve economic stability in the region.

She estimated that economic cooperation is a good way to calm disagreements between nations, because when people have higher salaries and pensions and a higher standard of living, they will put their interests above personal conflicts.

At the same time, the Prime Minister emphasised that the prime minister of the temporary institutions of self-government in Pristina, Albin Kurti, made his intentions and values known to the world when he said that the barricades in the north of Kosovo and Metohija should be removed even at the cost of victims.

Brnabic expressed her concern about the aforementioned statement, emphasising that it reflects Pristina's clear position that Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija should be ethnically cleansed.

When she talks about the victims, Kurti talks about the lives of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija who are at the barricades, namely women and children, elderly people, educators who hold online classes for high school students from the barricades, she explained.

The Prime Minister noted that many countries in the international community recognise the so-called state of Kosovo, but do not agree with Kurti's attitudes and behaviour.

According to her, KFOR is currently a good partner to the Serbian side and is doing its job in accordance with Resolution 1244, with the assessment that the return of Serbian troops to Kosovo and Metohija is a big improvement.
