Kostunica: EU shows true colors

In a statement to the media, Kostunica said that the real alternative to European integration is for Serbia to declare political neutrality and to cooperate with the EU on the economic basis alone. “After the acceptance of the Brussels agreement, which kills the Serbian statehood in Kosovo, the European Union announces that it will not even consider granting Serbia a date of accession negotiations on June 28. In this way, the European Union has shown its true colors, making it clear that it is primarily interested in eternally blackmailing Serbia,” Kostunica said. The last president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SRJ) and Serbia's former prime minister said that “the current government has continued to pursue the destructive policy of the former regime that holds the EU as Serbia's main goal, plunging the country into agony and despair and bringing it to the edge of a precipice.” “Until just two years ago, the European Union has been misleading Serbia about the European integration and Kosovo being two separate processes, and now even the Brussels agreements, which are destroying Serbia, are not enough to get a date (for the start of the EU accession talks),” he said. Kostunica said that Serbia's only appropriate answer to such EU behavior would be to “thank Brussels for the integration so far and put an end to the agony, destruction and humiliation of the country.”
