The Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today that Serbs from Kosovo were not asking for much, they were only asking for honoring the Brussels Agreement, and added that she agreed with the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell that November 21 should not be met without an agreement, Radio Television of Vojvodina broadcaster (RTV) reported.

When asked what she expected from Sunday, November 21 at midnight, Brnabic, who has been visiting Singapore, said that she agreed with Borrell that November 21 should not be met without an agreement.

"Our European and the US partners can no longer tolerate unilateral violations of all agreements that were signed, and I hope that an agreement will be reached", Brnabic said for Tanjug (Serbian news agency).

She underlined that the Serbs from Kosovo have been demanding from Pristina to start implementing the Brussels Agreement signed in 2013 and guaranteed by the EU and to honor all signed agreements regarding the vehicle license plates.

She pointed out that she was unsure what would happen from Sunday at midnight but that Serbia had a lot to lose, considering how far it had economically progressed.

"In the recen years we have been working so hard to build Serbia and then Pristina and Kurti set us back to solve things which have already been solved", Brnabic stated, adding that everyone expected that Serbia would always be flexible and tolerant beyond measure.

"This is about the rule of law and the fact that the credibility of the EU is called into question if the Brussels Agreement is not implemented", the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister of Serbia today participated in the Bloomberg New Economy conference and in the panel "Moving Digital Frontiers". She stated that Serbia has done a lot in recent years in terms of digitization.

Brnabic pointed out that the state has done a lot, including introducing informatics as a compulsory subject in elementary schools and investing money in the infrastructure for start-up innovation companies, which build science and technology parks.
