Brnabic: I expect not so easy discussions at Tirana summit

TIRANA - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic met in Tirana on Monday with Hungarian President Katalin Novak ahead of a Berlin Process summit, and noted that she expected "not so easy discussions" at the summit but that she would protect and defend Serbian interests.

"I will then have meetings with Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the sidelines of the summit. I expect the discussions with them to be very good and that we will discuss deepening of economic cooperation," she said.

She said she expected agreements on mutual recognition of qualifications of doctors and nurses to be signed by countries of the region.

Brnabic noted that Albin Kurti's terror against Serbs in the north of Kosovo-Metohija had begun since the previous summit, held in November last year, and added that she expected the terror to be stopped.

Novak said it was important for Serbia to join the EU as soon as possible and noted that Hungary had good-neighbourly relations with Serbia.

"Serbia's values are also EU values, our common goal is for Western Balkan countries to accede to the EU as soon as possible to make the Union stronger," Novak said.
