Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Monday that Serbia has a serious government, adding that it is necessary to "draw the line" and say that what the opposition is doing in Serbia "doesn't make any sense."

Speaking at the "Action plan for green transition in Serbia" panel at the Business Forum on Mt. Kopaonik, Brnabic assessed that the challenges faced by the world never been greater for the last 100 years.

"From the pandemic, through a war in Europe, to the next war and further threats, it is a situation in which we have to have both feet on the ground and say - guys, this doesn't make any sense. We must have a serious government, but also a serious opposition. We have to agree on some minimum requirements and see how to proceed," said Brnabic.

She said that Serbia, regardless of external pressure, is on the path of stability, and that there is no need to destabilize it.

"Where Serbia is going, capital is more conservative than anywhere else. It looks for not double, but triple stability. That capital is extremely sensitive and timid. If you constantly change the parameters, the investor will say - if you don't understand what you want, I really don't want to invest there," said Brnabic.

She added that it is difficult to respond to numerous challenges that are the result of an extremely low political culture.

"My opinion is that a constructive opposition that criticizes the government and improves its measures and prepares a new government that will be better than the current one would be ideal for any government. Not the opposition that hinders the work," said the prime minister.

She referred to the situation around the elections held in December 2023 and that regarding a repeat of the vote.

"For example, in June 2023, the opposition said, 'no way do we want elections', then in September 2023 they say - 'all we want are elections', and then when they get those elections and when we don't have a majority and need to repeat them under the same conditions as those from June and May, they say, 'now we are going to boycott elections', then you say, wait a minute, people, what sense does any of this make...," Brnabic said.
