Statements of the Serbian Minister/Kos: There is no place in Europe for rhetoric

European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, has responded to the statement made by Serbian Minister, Snezhana Paunovic, about ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Kos, in a statement to journalists from Kosovo, stated that there should be zero tolerance for such statements.

She adds that these words are in direct contradiction with the fundamental principles on which the EU is built and without which, in her opinion, the accession process cannot take place. Among other things, she adds that she expects political leaders to act responsibly, refrain from inflammatory language and contribute to building trust, reconciliation and stability in the region.

"There can only be zero tolerance for such statements as we have heard. And there is no place in Europe for rhetoric that justifies, advocates or glorifies ethnic cleansing. I am personally shocked. Such statements are in direct contradiction to human values ??and dignity, the necessary reconciliation, accountability and good neighbourly relations, the foundations on which the EU is built and without which the accession process cannot happen. They are also in contradiction with Serbia's obligations from the EU-facilitated dialogue for the normalisation of relations with Kosovo. I can only assume that these are the positions of a minister and do not represent the position of the Serbian government. We expect political leaders to act responsibly, refrain from inflammatory language and contribute to building trust, reconciliation and stability in the region ," declared Marta Kos. /CNA
