Slovakia firm not to recognise independence of Kosovo

Belgrade, 15 June 2018

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic and Defence Minister of the Slovak Republic Peter Gajdos assessed today that the bilateral relations of the two countries are traditionally good and friendly.

The officials expressed mutual satisfaction with the intense and continuous political dialogue at all levels, and expressed interest in further deepening all aspects of bilateral, especially military cooperation.

Dacic expressed his gratitude to Slovakia for continuing support to Serbia's European integration, and expressed the hope that it will continue in the future.

He also emphasised that our country especially appreciates Slovakia's principled support for territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia and finding a compromise solution for the issue of Kosovo-Metohija.

Gajdos conveyed the readiness of the Slovak Republic to continue supporting cooperation with Serbia in all fields, especially in the field of defence.

He reiterated that Slovakia remains committed to its principled stance not to recognise Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence, and that his country will continue to provide full support to Serbia's European integrations in the future.

Dacic expressed his confidence that this year's marking of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations dating back to the time of the former Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and the former Czechoslovakia will provide an additional impetus to deepening our bilateral relations at all levels.
