The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, assessed today that the situation in the north of Kosovo is "much more peaceful", which she attributed to the fact that the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and the Government maintained peace and stability, that is, "because they did not react hastily". Brnabić thanked the citizens of Kosovo, "who did not succumb to provocations" and appealed to EU partners to solve the problem of import taxes, so that negotiations could continue on the items that were on the agenda before their introduction. "(Let's go back) to negotiations on regional economic integration, mutual recognition of academic qualifications, infrastructural connectivity, so that they are stable and to show stability. Let's turn to the future," said Brnabić after visiting the safe house in Belgrade, adding that Serbia will not give up the protection guaranteed by international law. She stated that now the European institutions are on the move, that they need to react to the violation of the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) and CEFTA, so that Serbia and Kosovo return "to various negotiating tables". Commenting on the ban on the entry of the Serbian press into Kosovo, Brnabić said that it represents a violation of human rights and that she hopes that the relevant institutions dealing with human rights and minority rights will react, but that she is "not naive". She also said that Serbia's priorities are "the modern Serbia of the 21st century, in which everyone has an equal chance", but that she does not know what kind of vision the institutions of Pristina have. "Everything that I see on the field is quite terrible. For me, it is the politics of the 19th century... As much as it is easier to react from the heart to the first ball and respond in kind, because you know that you are involved in so many things, which they play, you stronger ones, in the army and the police, but we will not (act) like that," said Brnabić.
