“This is a strategic partnership,” Dacic said. He recalled the 180th anniversary of diplomatic relations, which Russia and Serbia celebrate this year, told about the historical ties of the peoples.
“I would like once again to thank Russia, President Putin and Minister Lavrov for the boundless support they always give us when it comes to the interests of Serbia.Without Russia’s support, we could not protect our national interests and our territorial integrity. Serbia has not joined the anti-Russian sanctions. “

The Serbian minister confirmed the opinion of the Russian colleague that the Albanian side does not comply with the existing agreements.

He spoke in support of Belgrade’s efforts to settle the relationship and dialogue with Pristina.
