Kon says restrictive measures in some form are expected to last until the summer.
But he adds that "life must resume." Serbia has reported 7,483 coronavirus infections and 144 deaths.
The country has introduced some of the harshest measures in Europe, including daily and weekend curfews and a complete stay-at-home order for people over 65 years old.
