The expert on Balkan issues, Daniel Serwer, has reacted to Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić.
Serwer by writing on Twitter has said that a prime minister of Serbia, using her people, has no right to endanger the public safety of a neighboring country, referring to Kosovo.
“No one doubts the right of Serbs in Kosovo to protest peacefully, but there is no right to block roads, attack police, and imperil public safety. As prime minister of Serbia, she has no right to use people to destabilize a neighboring country,” Serwer stressed.
Dear @anabrnabic: no one doubts the right of Serbs in Kosovo to protest peacefully, but there is no right to block roads, attack police, and imperil public safety. And there is no right as PM of Serbia to use people on your state's payroll to destabilize a neighboring state. https://t.co/EwoMnjhNk2

Likewise, the German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger informed Brnabić that the incitement of violence against Kosovo will make it impossible to continue the process towards membership in the European Union.
Groups of Serb citizens in the north erected barricades as early as December 10 to oppose the arrest of a former Serb policeman by Kosovo police.
Because barricades have blocked roads leading to border crossings, Jarinje and Brnjak – connecting Kosovo and Serbia – these two points have been closed for traffic.
