Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić said that there is no politics in the decision that one PSR test is enough for asymptomatic patients to be considered healthy, and added that she does not see how such a decision could score political points or resolve the situation with Montenegro.
Brnabić in Ivanjica, answering questions from journalists, said that other countries also changed and adjusted their methodology during Covid 19, as well as that a negative PSR test is also the standard of the World Health Organization (WHO).
"You can see from the numbers that our methodology was the most conservative. One negative PSR test is the WHO standard and we wanted to comply with that," said Brnabić, reports Tanjug.
She emphasized that this was the only reason for making that decision, and that she does not see how that decision could make any political point or solve the "situation with Montenegro".
"Montenegro's decision is political", emphasized Brnabić and added that she believes that "their decision should not be based on the number of infected people, but on some other things that are easier to verify".
According to her, the number of infected people can be zero if you test zero people.
"It is unbelievable that a country takes the number of infected people as a benchmark, and not, for example, the percentage of infected people in relation to the number of people tested, because then Montenegro would say that Serbia is excellent and you can come if we stopped testing the next day," said Brnabić.
In Serbia, as she stated, around four thousand people have been tested again today and the percentage of infected people is below two percent, which, Brnabić believes, shows the seriousness of Serbia.
"It also shows that we listen to the profession, and not make political decisions in the fight against covid-19," Brnabić points out.
As she said, the easiest political decision would be to reduce testing, which, Brnabić claims, everyone else has done.
"If you look today at the countries that live from tourism, you will see that they have nothing, that is, they have ten active cases, no new cases. Do you think that is realistic? Anyone who thinks it is realistic is stupid or crazy," Brnabić said. .
