Brnabic: Gov't's first 100 days marked by four wholes, difficult days for president

LEBANE - Commenting on her government's 100 days in office, Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said on Friday the period had been marked by four major wholes, as well as by constant provocations and attacks on Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija and difficult days for President Aleksandar Vucic.

Speaking to reporters in Lebane, southern Serbia, where the government held a session to mark its 100 days in office, Brnabic said the first of the four wholes was the national budget.

Noting that she knew some would say the budget was not the biggest success, she said Serbia's further growth and development, living standards and the number of investments in the country depended on the budget.

It is important what the budget is like and that it is development-minded in spite of all the challenges facing both us and the world, Brnabic said, noting that the Serbian budget ensured a growth of living standards and pensions.

The second major whole is energy and the way we have confronted the global energy crisis, Brnabic said, noting that her government had dedicated a great deal of effort to that.

"The third major whole is rule of law and the completion of the process of constitutional reforms, which we completed yesterday by passing a series of judicial laws.

The fourth is the constant instability, the constant provocations and attacks on Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija, and the difficult 100 days that were shouldered by President Aleksandar Vucic and definitely impacted the government's work," Brnabic said.
