At a press conference after meeting with Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Dimitrov, Dacic said that the meeting was constructive and open, adding that he conveyed to his colleague the security knowledge of Serbian counterintelligence services.
Our knowledge has provoked our reaction that we wanted to avoid the possibility of permanent damage in our relations in the sense that Serbia is accused of provoking unrest and destabilisation of Macedonia, he said.
He stressed that Serbia and Macedonia are friendly countries and should remain so, with the remark that it is necessary to avoid that the the two countries are a collateral damage to global international relations.
Dacic reiterated that the staff of the Serbian Embassy returned to Skopje, and that the Ambassador will return on 31 August and immediately request a meeting with Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev.
Dimitrov pointed out that the government of Macedonia was not involved in the intelligence activities, due to which Serbia withdrew its diplomats from Skopje for consultations.
He said that he advocates the region to move forward and that he looks forward to Serbia's success, assured that Serbia is looking forward to Macedonia's success too.
