The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, said on the occasion of the Law on Freedom of Religion in Montenegro, that she was glad that the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Oliver Varhelji, said that "Brussels will monitor the situation" and added that she hoped that there would be a dialogue at that level, because Montenegro is a sovereign state.
"There is a fine line between 'we support the people there' and meddling in the internal affairs of a sovereign state," said Brnabić.
Speaking about the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and the abolition of taxes on Serbian products, she stated that the new European Commission is exerting "tremendous pressure on Pristina" to abolish taxes.
She said that she is not sure what kind of reciprocity the representatives of the Kosovo authorities are talking about, but that Serbia's policy is clear and that is that "there are no gray areas, there are no ambiguities".
"We demand respect for the CEFTA agreement, it has no ambiguities. We are not asking for anything else, just respect CEFTA," said Brnabić.
She also said that it is "easier when she sees" that there are more people who do not agree with the Government's policy, but who raise their voices "against extremism in the Alliance for Serbia (SzS)".
She assessed that the true indicator of the democratic potential of SzS is that they exclude people who have their own opinion.
"You are excluding people who have their own opinion and will and who say they will return to the institution to fight for greater participation of women in parliamentary and political life," said Brnabić and added that the courage of Democratic Party MP Gordana Čomić is admirable.
Brnabić also said that the reduction of the census from five to three percent only harms the Serbian Progressive Party and that she does not see a problem with it, primarily because the electoral laws have already been amended in the election year.
"If there is a majority to adopt it, and a part of the opposition also supports it, then it is an internal matter of Serbia. Reducing the census widens the space for more citizen representatives in the parliament," said Brnabić.
