Brnabić: SNS is a dependable partner of EPP; exclusion was not discussed in Brussels

BRUSSELS – Ana Brnabić, the President of the Assembly of Serbia and a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), stated that her discussions in Brussels did not involve the potential expulsion of the SNS from the European People’s Party (EPP). She affirmed that SNS remains a strong and trustworthy partner of the EPP, highlighting their excellent relationship and ongoing communication with the party. Brnabić’s comments came in response to a journalist’s inquiry about discussions regarding the SNS’s future in the EPP, following remarks from EPP parliamentary group leader Manfred Weber, who mentioned that this issue would be considered soon due to the ongoing events in Serbia.

“No. SNS is a solid, reliable partner to the European People’s Party, EPP. We have good, excellent relations, we have constant communication. I am, among other things, the international secretary of SNS and I have had quite a few discussions in the last few days. We talked, I also spoke now with the President of the European Parliament, who is also in the EPP about this, so we have no problem here. Once again, we are open to dialogue, open to discussions,” Brnabić stated. She emphasized the necessity of open discussions for better understanding of the situation, noting that one perspective often dominates and withholds important information from MEPs.

Brnabić questioned how those who advocate for justice, rule of law, and democracy can have over 23,500 unregistered gatherings in their country. “So, not a single gathering in the country is registered, for every gathering you are breaking the law. But as soon as you enter the European Union, you register every gathering. And wait, how is it possible that in every EU member state, you accept and respect their laws, but do not respect one law in your own country?” she asked. She pointed out that this information may have been overlooked in Brussels and has surprised some who were previously unaware. “And that is why it is important to have dialogue. And that is why I am here today,” Brnabić concluded. (September 12)

    Seems like SNS and EPP are the best of pals now—who knew a little bit of unregistered chaos could forge such strong ties? 😂 As if Brussels has time to worry about a few gatherings when there’s fine dining and mingling to be done! 🍷

    Seems like SNS is the kind of partner you keep around just for the free drinks at the EPP meetings, eh? 🍷 No worries about expulsion when your relationship is built on such *solid* foundations! 😂

    Oh sure, because nothing screams “dependable partner” like a party that can’t keep track of its own gatherings! 😏 Keep those dialogues coming, Ana, they’re really doing wonders for the image! 🍵

    Oh sure, Brnabić claims the SNS is “dependable” while juggling unregistered gatherings like a circus act. Quite the “open dialogue” when the only thing left open is the exit door for common sense! 😏

    Trustworthy partner, you say? Sounds like a love story—just with more unregistered gatherings and less romance. 😂

    Looks like someone’s been sipping too much espresso in Brussels! 😂 SNS, the “rock-solid” partner of EPP? I guess we’ll just ignore those 23,500 unregistered gatherings like they’re just casual weekend picnics. 🍷
