The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Nikola Selaković, today received the Ambassadors of the USA, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Norway to NATO in Brussels.

Foreign Minister Selaković pointed out that Serbia, as a militarily neutral country, wanted to continue improving partnership cooperation with NATO, since the preservation of peace and stability in the region was of mutual interest.

HE Selaković informed the interlocutors about the political and security situation in the region, stressing that Serbia remains a solid and reliable pillar of peace and stability in the Western Balkans.

Serbia, he added, confirms its firm commitment to stability in the region and the peaceful resolution of all open issues, among other things, through the “Open Balkans” initiative, through which political disagreements are overcome through the economic cooperation of the countries in the region.

The Head of Serbian diplomacy specifically referred to the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, repeating Belgrade’s commitment to dialogue under the auspices of the EU and achieving compromise and sustainable solutions.

Foreign Minister Selaković warned of Pristina’s pattern of action, which is taking unilateral steps to the detriment of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija, thereby destabilizing the situation on the ground, while at the same time refusing to implement the obligations it assumed in the Brussels Agreement.

The Foreign Minister informed the Ambassadors about the position of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija and a series of inter-ethnic incidents against Serbs, pointing out last night’s attack by Albanians and the wounding of two Serbs in Babin Most.

Emphasizing the importance of engaging KFOR, within the mandate entrusted to it by UN Security Council Resolution 1244, HE Selaković warned that any subsequent provocation by Pristina could cause incalculable consequences.

The interlocutors also discussed the current situation in the Western Balkans region, as well as the geopolitical consequences of the war in Ukraine.

The meeting was also attended by the Ambassadors of the USA, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and Norway in Serbia, as well as the special envoy of Norway for the Western Balkans.
