Brnabic: Pristina's moves a problem for any dialogue whatsoever

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said on Wednesday Pristina's announcement that it might stop payment transactions with central Serbia, ban the Serbian dinar and raid the offices of the Serbian Postal Savings Bank was one of the key problems not only for further normalisation of Belgrade-Pristina relations but for any dialogue whatsoever.

In an appearance on Prva TV, Brnabic said Pristina's PM Albin Kurti was "playing all of his cards on there being no dialogue whatsoever."

She also noted that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic had had a good discussion with US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia James O'Brien on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Tuesday evening.

"It is always good to have open discussions with partners from the US, and I am confident the US has an interest in stability in this region and that there is no need for any conflict or any indication of a new conflict on the European continent, which is something that we absolutely do not need either because peace and stability are our national interest as Serbia is achieving very good economic results in terms of living standards," Brnabic said.
