Professor: Borrell should apologise for scandalous statement Author:N1 Belgrade 2 minutes _____ Faculty of Political Sciences professor Aleksandra Krstic told N1 dan that the High Representative of the European Union, Josep Borrell, should apologise to the citizens of other parts of the world over a metaphor he used in his recent speech. „I saw that in one speech Borrell used the metaphor of a garden and a jungle, that the EU is a garden and they are gardeners, and the vast majority of the world is a jungle,“ said Krstic, stressing that this is very dangerous and that Borrell should have apologised. She noted that this was not the only inappropriate statement Borrell made and that when the debate on banning Russian media broadcasting was held within the EU, they said that the EU does not have a ministry of truth, but that it will determine what is information and what is misinformation and fake news. She argued that it is therefore not surprising that interest in EU integration is declining among citizens. „Everything is sensationalism, there is no interpretation,“ said Krstic, stating that there is still a misunderstanding of the European path in Serbia and that the issue is “so politicised“ that it seems abstract. She noted that Serbia’s European Integrations office conducted an analysis of the perception of European integration among citizens about ten years ago and that it showed that the main fears among citizens regarding the issue are based on numerous prejudices about the EU. „For example, it’s the fear of losing identity, language, and currency. It’s a story that spans a decade,“ she said. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
