Dacic and Burkhard assessed that the cooperation was of particular importance during last year’s presidency of Serbia of this organisation.
Burkhard said that Serbia has made great progress during his tenure from 2012 to the present.
Dacic expressed gratitude to Burkhard on a four-year cooperation, wishing him every success on his new function.
He also pointed out that it is unacceptable that employees of the OSCE Mission in Serbia give political statements, thus calling into question fair cooperation of the Mission with the state authorities of Serbia to date.
The new Head of the OSCE Mission in Serbia is Italian diplomat Andrea Orizio, reads a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
