Brnabic meets with Braathu

BELGRADE - Serbian Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic met with the head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia Jan Braathu on Thursday.

Braathu said a recent meeting of the Collegium of the Serbian parliament was a very important first step and that dialogue with the opposition should be continued towards an agreement on constructive solutions.

Brnabic said she was pleased to have established dialogue with opposition parties and noted that the opposition would make a big mistake if it were to abandon the dialogue, the Serbian parliament said in a statement.

She said there should be no ultimatums in dialogue and that she hoped that, despite disagreements, the dialogue would be continued to the benefit of all citizens and society.

Brnabic said she would continue to work with commitment on implementation of ODIHR recommendations and invest efforts to gather opposition parties around the topic.

She said she had been surprised by the opposition's decision on Wednesday to give up on joint work on implementation of the ODIHR recommendations.
