Milanovic said earlier that Serbia will not introduce any countermeasures against the Croatia, "because those would be measures against the EU," while Dacic said that "Croatia contrary to Europe suspended the SAA and unilaterally imposed measures against Serbia, prevented normal traffic, the flow of goods and capital and people, which are the main achievements of the EU, and in that way violated European conventions."
An agreement on border crossings between Serbia and Croatian does not provide for the closing of any of the border crossings for traffic, said Dacic.
"I thought that after yesterday's talks with Prime Minister Vucic, Croatia would go down the path of looking for a certain solution, but I see they did not learn certain lessons from that," said Dacic.
He then stressed that this was "a trade war of sorts against Serbia, a kind of economic aggression against Serbia" as the roads were closed for trucks from Serbia unilaterally without any notification.
He announced that he will today talk with colleagues from Romania, Bulgaria and other countries "whom he wishes to inform about what is going on."
"We've already said what Croatia violated, but the EU with its mechanism clearly does not show too much efficiency at the moment," said Dacic.
The minister then said this was "an unprecedented case since World War II" and that "only during the wars in the former Yugoslavia the border was closed."
He added that "we are all victims of the internal political situation in Croatia" because of upcoming elections there, adding it was "better for all to come to a decision, that there is no further complicating of the situation."
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Here we are 20 years after the war and only in the Balkans and Middle East can people not get over it. As a foreigner who loves Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia equally, it's really depressing to see what has become of all three countries since the 90's.

How else can he distract his own people from his linked mafia colleagues... Too hard to understand for an average Serbian

Why are serbian politicians always complaining? Dacic in particular, everything has to go his way or he gets upset like a child left out because he's too fat to play with the other kids.
Just shut it dude, and act like a minister that you are in the position to be.
