Spain firmly supports territorial integrity of Serbia

Belgrade, 25 May 2016

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic and Foreign Minister of Spain Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said today that one of the key pillars of bilateral relations between the two countries is support of Spain to territorial integrity of Serbia.

Speaking at a joint press conference, Dacic pointed out that Spain has always been with Serbia, backing it in the fight against the illegally declared independence of Kosovo and as regards European integration, and we must never forget that.

The level of economic cooperation however is very low, agreed Dacic, adding that it totalled around €340 million last year.

Spain has invested over €125 million in Serbia since 2005, including around €40 million in donations – there is room to enhance that cooperation and we will be working on that, Dacic said.

Spain supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia and it will never recognise Kosovo's independence, Margallo said.

This year marks the centenary of the diplomatic relations between Serbia and Spain, where Spain's support for Serbia's territorial integrity is a crucial pillar, Margallo said.

The two ministers also discussed the fight against terrorism and the migrant crisis.
