"We waited to see what the EU would say about the appointment of Rasic, and we received another disgraceful statement. The appointment of Rasic is not only contrary to the Brussels Agreement, but also contrary to the will of the people expressed in elections, which is the most important of wills.

I ask again - after 10 years Pristina did not implement the Brussels Agreement, of which the EU is the guarantor, after Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija were denied the right to vote this year, twice, to which the EU responded with one sentence in the Progress Report, and after Pristina, by appointing Rasic, continues to annul the clearly expressed will of the Serb people in Kosovo, so I ask the EU - where are these European values, where is democracy, where has the rule of law disappeared to?

After this disgraceful statement by the EU, just one in a series, there is no need for Serbia to participate in summits on the Western Balkans. Either the EU will start respecting the values it propagates, or there is no longer a need for Serbia to participate in this farce."

For the first time, Serbia will not attend the EU-Western Balkans summit, which will be held on December 6 in Tirana.

Spokesman of the High Representative for Foreign Policy Peter Stano earlier on Thursday today called on Belgrade and Pristina to work in accordance with binding agreements on dialogue and to work on the immediate return of Kosovo Serbs to all Pristina institutions.
