Bërnabiq Reacts Sharply: Kosovo Is Part of Serbia, Not a Neighbor

A heated debate erupted today in the Serbian Assembly after Speaker Ana Bërnabiq intervened angrily to correct a lawmaker who had described Kosovo as a neighboring state.

During a discussion on the challenges facing Serbia, lawmaker Dobrica Veselinoviq of the “Green Front” used the term “our neighbors” in reference to Kosovo.

Although she allowed him to finish speaking, Bërnabiq responded immediately afterward, describing it as a personal position and in no way an institutional one.

“For the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, these are not neighbors. Kosovo is an inseparable territory of Serbia. The Autonomous Province of Kosovo. This may be your personal opinion, and that is clear, which is why I did not interrupt you, but it does not represent the official position of this institution,” she stated.
