Brnabic: Serbia militarily neutral, wants to preserve peace

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic said on Tuesday Serbia was a militarily neutral country that was seeking to maintain that status.

"We are militarily neutral and we want to be militarily neutral. We want to safeguard our country and to stay militarily neutral and preserve peace," Brnabic told Pink TV.

She dismissed as "ridiculous" questions by opposition politicians whether Serbia was preparing for war by launching a motion to reinstate compulsory military service.

Brnabic noted that Croatia had recently decided to do the same but that opposition politicians in Serbia had not said at the time that Croatia was preparing for war.
