"It's a difficult situation, certainly painful, it's hard to watch, let alone suffer it as a member of the Serb people in Kosovo and Metohija. Diplomacy is doing its job, Aleksandar Vucic is fighting, we'll know soon what to do," Brnabic told Pink TV, commenting on yesterday's announcement by Vucic that the state will come out with concrete demands and measures within the following 72 hours. He spoke after more Serbs were arrested in Kosovo and Metohija.
She said that Pristina is demonstrating force in Kosovo and Metohija against the Serb people on a daily basis.
When asked if Albin Kurti's terror can be stopped, Brnabic pointed out that now it is clear to everyone what we have been repeating, that Kurti's only goal is to expel all Serbs from the territory of our southern province in order to have an ethnically pure so-called Kosovo - which is an integral part of the Republic of Serbia, according to international law and the UN Charter.
"The whole world sees (what is happening in Kosovo and Metohija), as does everyone in Serbia. I see that some, like some NATO lobbyists, have only words of praise for Albin Kurti, but I know what is happening and what is happening in the background, how this difficult and tiring diplomatic struggle led by President Aleksandar Vucic is unfolding, of course (by) Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and all relevant people in the government of the Republic of Serbia as well," said Brnabic.
She stessed that it is a difficult fight, but that we must try to do our best to preserve peace.
"But we cannot hand over our people, and that is what Aleksandar Vucic clearly said yesterday. I, too, look forward to President Vucic's public address and clear guidelines for us and the international community on how we will proceed on this issue," said Brnabic.
