(ANSA) - BELGRADE - According to Serbia's premier Ana Brnabic, an aggreement agreement to solve the Kosovo issue could be reached this year. ''We are committed to searching for a long-lasting solution, so as not to leave a 'frozen conflict' to those who will come after us. If we don't grab this historic opportunity in 2018, we won't have any other chance in the coming decades'', she told The Economist. In the interview, cited from the media in Belgrade, the premier talked about some other topics, including media freedom in Serbia. ''I do not understand - she said - why it became a topic of discussion, there was no pressure at all''. Brnabic then renewed her criticism of the Hague Tribunal (TPI), which ceased activity at the end of last year, saying that no justice or reconciliation between the countries of the former Yugoslavia was done. At Srebrenica, she added, not a genocide but a ''hateful crime'' was committed, and according to the premier the image of Serbs and Serbia that was created on the basis of this crime is ''unacceptable''. ''Let's look to the future and leave the past behind. There are new generations who have a lot in common. My grandfather was a Croat, not a Serb of Croatia, but a Croat from the island of Krk. There I spent my childhood and I have many friends, we really have a lot in common''. However, when asked if she would like to see a revival of former Yugoslavia, the Serbian premier responded with a dry 'no'.(ANSA).
