Brnabic reacted to Stano's statement: This kind of reaction is a shame for the EU

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic reacted to the statement of EU spokesperson Peter Stano regarding the appointment of Nenad Rasic as Minister for Communities and Returns, emphasizing that the EU's reaction is shameful, Blic reports.

"Such a reaction is a shame for the EU. We were waiting to see what the EU would say about the appointment of Rasic and we received another shameful statement. The appointment of Rasic is not only contrary to the Brussels Agreement, but also contrary to the will of the people expressed in the elections, and I ask again - after 10 years, Pristina did not implement the Brussels Agreement of which the EU is the guarantor, after Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija were denied the right to vote this year, twice, to which the EU responded with one sentence in the Progress Report, and after that Pristina, by appointing Rasic, continues to ignore the clearly expressed will of the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, so I ask the EU - where are those European values, where is the democracy, where does the rule of law disappear," Brnabic said.

Brabic said that there was no need for Serbia to participate in the EU-Western Balkans Summit.

"Either the EU will start respecting the values it propagates, or there is no longer a need for Serbia to participate in this kind of farce. For the first time, Serbia will not attend the EU-Western Balkans Summit that will be held on December 6 in Tirana," Brnabic said.

Stano previously called on Belgrade and Pristina to work in accordance with the binding agreements on dialogue as well as on the immediate return of Kosovo Serbs to all Pristina institutions. Reacting to the appointment of Nenad Rasic as Minister for Communities and Returns, he said that it was of vital importance that Pristina respected all the necessary steps when appointing ministers who represented the minority community.
