Brnabic: We are pursuing best but most difficult policy for our country

MT KOPAONIK - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday the policy being pursued by Serbia at this time was the best but also the most difficult for the country.

"We are defending the policy we are pursuing with arguments - international law, the UN Charter, the international order, the things that have happened to us, the aggression on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the attempt to take a part of our territory away from us," Brnabic said at the 30th Kopaonik Business Forum.

Serbia must be treated as a specific case, Brnabic said.

"However much some may doubt that we will maintain the course, we are maintaining it with the arguments we have - I am not sure for how long we will maintain it, but every day matters," Brnabic noted, adding that the EU and integration with the bloc were Serbia's strategic direction.

"To enlarge or not to enlarge? That is the Hamletian question - unfortunately, the dilemma does not exist in the EU because the majority of member states are not in favour of enlargement. Regardless of whether you fully respect and follow the EU common foreign policy, regardless of the rule of law reform, I think that, at this time, their answer is no, but should that change our policy on the EU and on the path to the EU? Absolutely not," Brnabic said.

She noted that reforms underway in Serbia on the EU path were in the interest of the country, its economy and its citizens.
