The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, said that the Hague Tribunal was not objective and that Serbia "fared the worst" in terms of the number of sentences and the number of deaths in The Hague, reports B92.

As she said, perhaps such a view is not politically correct, but it is her personal opinion.

"I think that the Tribunal did not participate in reconciliation in the region, but contributed to the tightening of relations in the region. How can we talk about the efficiency of the judiciary in Serbia, when you have a 13-year trial in The Hague against Seselj, who was acquitted," she said.

Brnabić asked how it is possible to return 13 years of life to someone, but also how it would be if the judiciary in Serbia treated someone like that.

The Prime Minister of Serbia said this on the occasion of the official visit of the President of the Hague Tribunal, Karmel Ađijus, who will stay in Belgrade until tomorrow.

He will discuss improving regional cooperation in the prosecution of crimes committed during the 1990s conflict in national courts, the tribunal said.

When asked if she knew the reasons for his arrival, Brnabić said that she "personally does not know".
