The Prime Minister of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, stated that it is true that Friday was one of the most difficult days for her since she joined the Government of Serbia, but that she remains at its head. She told Blic Sunday that she told Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić that such days make her think about her place and role in the government. "My love for Serbia, my belief that this country can do much more and better, and my personal responsibility to get the job done - so that the citizens feel a better life through their wallets, career, greater choices in life, prosperity for their family, are my motivation for why I accepted to lead the Government and why I remain at its head," she said. That newspaper recalls that Prime Minister Brnabić and Minister Nenad Popović clashed on Friday at the Cabinet session after the minister's tweet called for preventing the distribution of a Croatian children's gay picture book in Serbia. Brnabić points out that he has nothing against ministers having their own opinion, but that he advocates that everything be discussed within the Government. She pointed out that the members of the Government are there for the sake of the citizens, and not the other way around. "We have to learn to choose our words. There is no need to talk about sensitive topics in public in such a way that others are offended or put in a situation where they feel like second-class citizens. This government should promote tolerance and acceptance of the right to a different opinion, but that expressing a different opinion does not offend anyone," said Brnabić. She added that she has now put an end to this topic and that the principles of collegiality, teamwork, self-sacrifice and mutual respect remain the principles by which she will lead the Government and which she will insist on with all members of her cabinet.
