Newly elected Serbian MP Dobrica Veselinović of the Green Front spoke in the Serbian Parliament today about the country’s domestic challenges, during which he also referred to Kosovo.
While addressing lawmakers, Veselinović described Kosovo as “our neighbors,” prompting an immediate reaction from Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabić.
After Veselinović concluded his remarks, Brnabić stated that, for the institution she leads, “Kosovo is not our neighbor.”
“For the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, these are not our neighbors. Kosovo is an integral part of the Republic of Serbia—a province, the Autonomous Province of Kosovo. These are not our neighbors. That may be your position, and it clearly is your position, which is why I did not interrupt you, but it is not the official position of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia. Thank you,” Brnabić said.
