"I will say this: in looking for our way out of this and in striving to build a better world for all of us, we all need to start from ourselves and the things we must do by ourselves, first and foremost as individuals, then our countries, then our regions, then our continents and then the united world that we are. We, once more, need to start bringing the nations of the world together, much like 70 or so years ago," Brnabic said, and added:
"The basic value of the European Union, much like the basic value of the United Nations, is: peace. It's not economy, or trade, or bigger market. It’s peace. All of these other things, and much, much more, came, and will always come, as a spillover effect of peace. European Union is a peace project, and a successful one. And we want, we need, to be part of it – so there is sustainable peace, and consequently stability and prosperity, in the Balkans – this troubled region of the world that used to known as the powder keg of Europe."
According to her, "Serbia is trying very hard to leave this in the past and grow to become more reasonable, instead of more emotional; more pragmatic, instead of immersed in myths; proud of its victories and not of its losses; a country which is building unexpected friendships, in place of traditional animosities."
"We've embarked on a comprehensive public administration reform with one simple goal: for it to become citizen-focused. We are reminding, on a daily basis, our administration, all of us, that we are there to serve, and not to be served," the prime minister said, and noted that her country "of today" is committed to "peace and, if I may say so, behaving as an adult."
"I am addressing here the issue of our Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija which split down the middle even the UN – less than half of UN member countries recognize the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, while more than half, i.e. more than five billion people in the world, refuse to recognize the illegal secession of Kosovo," Brnabic noted.
"What Serbia has been trying to do in the past year, is essentially trying to close Pandora’s Box which was opened ten years ago when unilateral declaration of independence was proclaimed by authorities in Pristina, and the rush by a number of countries in the world to recognize that unilateral declaration of independence regardless of international law and standards; regardless of the fact that this was done only four years after Serbian churches and monasteries, world heritage sites, were looted and burned; and regardless of the fact that international community always stated “standards before status” as their mantra – and when everyone saw that standards are not on Pristina’s agenda, they decided to break their own mantra and decide on the status," the prime minister said.
Brnabic also spoke about the Belgrade-Pristina talks Brussels agreement, and its implementation:
"We've signed the Brussels agreement more than five years ago, and implemented it. Pristina signed it, but still did not implement even one single word of it. We will continue insisting on the full implementation of the Brussels agreement and establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), but we will remain tolerant and patient. I can tell you today: however difficult, and difficult it is, however challenging, and challenging it is; however sometimes hopeless and wasteful the dialogue with Pristina might be, we will stay committed to finding a compromise which will ensure sustainable peace, prosperity and brighter future for all people in the region."
Her message to the international community was to "continue to support Serbia's efforts."
"Serbia will continue demonstrating readiness to compromise, which is far from easy; but in that we need a counterpart which is politically bold, responsible, committed and trustworthy, and that has not been the case thus far. I am therefore asking the international community to continue supporting the efforts that Serbia initiated. To achieve progress in the dialogue, we need undiluted and consistent support by the international community," Brnabic said.
"Serbia is committed to working with other nations across the globe on taking our 'common destiny', as many in the UN refer to it, into our own hands. We want to claim accountability towards future generations. We want them to hold us accountable," the prime minister said, adding:
"That is why we are investing so much in peace, understanding and reconciliation in the region. And, on the other hand, we are equally investing in our future. The key priorities of my government are youth and education. We need to start teaching our youth how to think, and not what to think."
If she had balls like PM Rambo, she would have been invited to a state visit to Pentagon! PM Ramush Haradinaj received a warm welcome at Pentagon by Secretary of Defense Mattis!

Greece the queen of the Balkan have gdp per capita only 4 times and half more than Greece in 2017
As for Romania in the year 2021 it will be a developed country where workers and pensionaries will live as in West
For example 2020 it double the pension level of 2016 and 2021 double the pension level of 2021 . So who had 200 euro in 2016 will have 800 euro in 2021 . As for minimum pension will be 50% of minimum gross salary for 2019 is 2050 lei => 1025 => 220 euro , public sector average net salary 1500 euro and gdp per capita around 13000 euro
As for 2017 situacion Romania gdp per capita $10750 , Serbia $5800 , Albania $4500 Greece $18600 .
Serbia will never equalise Romania until i die ! it should have gdp grow over Romania with a lot and it always grow under Romania !
in 2017 Romania +6,9% Serbia +1,8%
It would be normal Serbia to get a year of around 4% and then under 4%
SERBIA IS CONTROLED BY MAFIA IT HAVE NO CHANCE IS A DEAD HORSE
Look at economical performances from 2010s it had never reached 3% in a decade !

Very few believe today that Kosovo will be an own state someday. Be it americans or else. I do not care what people think or wish here on this discussion board, be it serbs or albanians. The word around the world is different than it was 10 years ago. Period. 👍

New face, old habits; she couldn't go half a speech without making Albanians the culprits of everything that ails the world. So much for wanting peace.

Spoken like a true jihadist. The truth is an insult to you and you go on autopilot and threaten instability.
What are you going to do? Start killing Serbs and harvesting their organs again because you don't like hearing what you really did and are?

I don't think it's wise to speak of a unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo, when the whole world has witnessed a unilateral effort to annihilate a whole people. What did you expect? A thank you note? Please do it again? Flowers and chocolate boxes?

There is no moral content to what she says. She only talks about "freedom" which is amoral. Freedom is always freedom toward something. The question is: Freedom toward what? There is no substance to what she said.
When God punished his children (the children of Israel), he shamed them this way: "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." (Isaiah 3:12) And our dear Serbia is not only ruled over by a woman but a lesbian! Who could imagine a more shameful situation?!?

Everybody knows Serbia has two faces. During the day they talk peace while behind the scenes they do the opposite. Isn't the best proof what Serbian president said few days ago when openly glorified Milosevic. They call Albanians terrorists while meeting Palestinian terrorists. Just ask Israel if you don't believe me. Oh, I forgot two faced Serbs try/pretend to have good relations with both sides.

Yes Kosovo is Serbia the world is finally realized that NATO made a big mistake the only person to blame is bill Clinton that's the biggest terrorist ever the world needs to bring him to the highest tree and hang him
(Nick, 28 September 2018 12:42)
Mr. Brnabic is a blatant liar. He knows perfectly well that far more than 100 UN member countries i.e. 110 have recognized The Republic of Kosova, 110/193 = 57% a clear majority.

Wise sentiments from an obviously intelligent woman. However I don't think her Albanian counterparts do business in good faith. In fact, I think they are extremely dangerous people. The only time they negotiate is when their US backers decide it's expedient for them to do so. We all know this to be true. This whole charade has nothing to do with peace and reconciliation, rather realpolitik in action. And yes, the EU is a German dominated construct. No surprises there. That's why Brexit happened.
