Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said last night that she did not understand why people protested this week against Aleksandar Vucic, since if he wanted to allow capitulation and recognize so-called Kosovo, all he should have done was not to deal with that issue, but to leave it where those he succeeded in power left it.

Speaking on TV Pink, Brnabic said that she did not know who was behind the protests and the attempt to break into the Presidency, but that she was sure, knowing our security services, that she will find out in the near future.

The prime minister said that these are people who call themselves patriots, and who on Statehood Day, referring to another country and trampling on the Serbian flag, armed, went after President Vucic.

"What has he done to cause such a thing? If we talk about Kosovo and Metohija, the only thing he has done in the past 10 years is that he managed to put the issue back on the agenda of the international community, which considered it closed when he came to power. The last thing he said about Kosovo and Metohija was in the Assembly, that he would not recognize so-called Kosovo and that (its) membership in the UN is considered a red line. Is that why they took to the street?," asked the prime minister, reports Tanjug.

Speaking about parliamentary parties who, according to her, rationalized an attempt to kill President Vucic and violently overthrow the government, she said that they are the ones who surrendered and gave everything that could be given regarding Kosovo and Metohija, in order to appease someone else.

"Not even because of Serbia, but because of their personal roles and positions, such as, for example, becoming the president of the UN Assembly. They released Albanian terrorists in order to curry favor with the West, no one asked them to do it and they said so themselves," the prime minister stressed.

She recalled 2004 and the pogrom of the Serb people (in Kosovo), 2008 and the declaration of independence (of Kosovo), as well as 2010, when the issue of Kosovo and Metohija was transferred from the UN to the EU, and 2011, when, she said, they (those in power in Belgrade at the time) agreed to a border, i.e. the administrative line.

"If Vucic wanted to allow capitulation, all he should have done was not to deal with that issue, but to leave it where they left it. They surrendered everything that could be surrendered even what was not asked of them," said Brnabic.
