Representatives of the Dveri opposition party visiting the European Parliament (EP) in Brussels requested the European Union’s lawmaker to stop exerting pressure on Serbia vis-a-vis the European plan for the normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo and anti-Russian sanctions, the movement said in a March 8 news release.

Dveri explained in the release that during the visit to Brussels by two Dveri MPs, Tamara Milenkovic-Kerkovic and Radmila Vasic, visiting the EU institution with another twenty government and opposition MPs of Serbia, they had asked the EP to “withdraw the Franco-German agreement on Kosovo.”

Dveri’s secretary for international affairs Andrej Mitic was also in the Dveri delegation, and continued talks with the Identity and Democracy (ID) Group in the European Parliament, bringing together European conservative parties. The Dveri MPs asked that European parliamentarians should stop pressure against Serbia regarding, as they put it, “the unconstitutional NATO-EU agreement requesting Serbia to recognize the false state of Kosovo.”

They also wanted no more pressures to introduce anti-Russian sanctions. The Dveri representatives wanted the European Parliament to switch their attention from the two themes to the rule of law in Serbia, corruption, crime, closed media and poor electoral terms, which they said were the consequences of Aleksandar Vucic’s authoritarian rule.
