At a regional conference in Novi Sad, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic on Thursday commented on the protest of Serb in Rudare, to say that Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija are on the verge of patience and strength, and that they tried to appeal in the best possible way to all international partners to show understanding for their problems.

"The only thing Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija want is respect for the rule of law and guarantied human rights for everyone, basic human rights. If someone is to be arrested, they should know why, the family should know why, they should know where the arrested person is, whether they are okay, rather than arresting and mistreating people just because they are Serbs," said Brnabic, reports Tanjug.

The Serbian prime minister added that President Aleksandar Vucic is in constant communication with European officials.

"The president is in constant consultation with our European partners, both with Miroslav Lajcak and with partners in the United States and with the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, in order to keep the situation calm and under control, as much as it can be, but it seems to me that there is not enough clear distancing from Pristina's moves and that is not in accordance with the rule of law and that such things cannot be tolerated. That would be a clear message, and at the end of the day, what the Serbs are asking for is not much, but a basic thing that should not even be asked for, but is taken for granted in the 21st century," said Brnabic.
