Serbia respects principle of sovereignty, political independence

Belgrade/Baku, 23 October 2019

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that Serbia attaches great importance to cooperation with the Non-Aligned Movement and wants to continue joint efforts to support multilateralism and a global order based on respect for international law.

Dacic said at a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in Baku that Serbia expresses full support to the respect for the principles of sovereignty and political independence as the basis on which international peace and security should rest, as well as fostering friendly relations and cooperation between states.

However, Serbia unfortunately experienced in its own example the consequences of disrespect for international law, territorial integrity and sovereignty, faced foreign military aggression in its territory, persecution of the population and destruction of centuries-old cultural and religious heritage and the attempt of secessionism, he added.

Serbia, while defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity, is also defending international law, the UN Charter, the supreme authority of the Security Council for the preservation of international peace and security, Dacic said.

The First Deputy Prime Minister underlined that reaching a political solution to the Kosovo-Metohija issue is a national priority for Serbia, which, despite Pristina's unilateral moves, remains committed to finding a compromise solution to the issue, which will ensure lasting peace and stability.

He underlined that Serbia strongly opposes any attempt to impose unilateral, unlawful acts because they, among other things, do not contribute to an atmosphere that could lead to the resumption of the dialogue.
