**Serbian Lawyer Responds to EU Commissioner**
Sofija Mandic, a lawyer from Serbia, has written a letter to European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos. Mandic responded to a recent letter from the commissioner, which expressed concern about the current situation in Serbia.
In her letter, Mandic said that people in Serbia are suffering brutal violence, not a lack of mutual respect as the commissioner suggested. She pointed out that the commissioner should have focused on the violence and called for an investigation into the deaths of 15 citizens who were killed when a public building collapsed.
Mandic also criticized the commissioner’s call for an inclusive dialogue involving all stakeholders to address reforms necessary for Serbia’s European future. She said that citizens in Serbia do not want to negotiate implementation of the law, but rather see accountability from the highest state authorities for their actions.
**What Should Have Been the Focus**
The lawyer said that the commissioner should have focused on the brutal violence and called for a comprehensive investigation into the deaths of 15 citizens who were killed when a public building collapsed. She also mentioned that several similar projects are planned in Serbia, which has left citizens feeling unsafe.
**EU Commissioner Missed the Point**
Mandic accused the EU commissioner of missing the point by calling for an inclusive dialogue instead of addressing the violence and accountability issues. She said that citizens in Serbia do not expect the European Commission to force them into a dialogue with their abusers, but rather want help in breaking ties between organized crime and state authorities.
**Serbian Citizens Want Justice**
The lawyer concluded that Serbian citizens want justice and accountability from the highest state authorities for their actions. They are calling for a comprehensive investigation into the deaths of 15 citizens who were killed when a public building collapsed, as well as an investigation into other similar projects planned in Serbia.
