Brnabic: I think Vucic has averted danger of sanctions

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said on Friday President Aleksandar Vucic had succeeded in averting the danger of sanctions against Serbia, debated in the international community in the wake of the September 24 incident in Banjska, a village in the north of Kosovo-Metohija.

Brnabic said this after Vucic attended a European Political Community summit in Granada on Thursday.

"The president had a large number of meetings there with many officials... I think he succeeded in averting the immediate danger of sanctions being imposed, but I cannot speak about details," Brnabic told Pink TV.

She said Pristina had launched a barrage of disinformation following the Banjska incident and that Vucic had managed to stop it and "stabilise the situation."

Pristina is not interested in peace, stability or de-escalation, but only in Belgrade being punished, Brnabic said.

Commenting on the EU accession process, she said she did not believe there would be any EU enlargement by 2030.

"I am not overly optimistic, but that does not mean we need to give up on the European path," Brnabic said.
