Brnabic voices concern, disapproval over CoE decision on so-called Kosovo

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic met with the head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret on Friday, voicing enormous concern and disapproval over a recommendation to admit the so-called Kosovo to the Council of Europe (CoE).

Brnabic said she hoped the decision would be reconsidered as it was a breach of the CoE statute and jeopardised the organisation's role in protecting human rights and rule of law.

According to an official statement, Brnabic also said transparency and openness would be the fundamental characteristics of her tenure as parliament speaker and that she would be an advocate of strengthening institutions and democratic principles in Serbia.
