Speaking at a press conference, Dacic pointed out that Serbia will gradually approach a common foreign policy by the time of its EU membership.
He expressed the hope that by then the Russian Federation and the European Union will solve mutual problems, and added it would be bad if conflicts and restrictive measures persist.
Speaking of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Dacic said that the negotiations were difficult, but that it is impossible to cut off all contacts with Brussels and Pristina.
He stressed that Serbia should protect its national and state interests and should play an active role in the dialogue, which it does.
