On this occasion, Selakovic said that Serbia is firmly on the path to European integration and that it is fully committed to the reform process and the improvement of all segments of our society, expressing hope that such a commitment will be valued by opening negotiating clusters.
The Minister also pointed out Serbia's sincere commitment to regional cooperation, preservation of stability and diplomatic solution of outstanding issues, emphasising that peace and stability are the highest interest of our country and a condition for the continuation of its progress.
The interlocutors discussed regional issues, with Selakovic emphasising that Serbia is consistent in not interfering in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries and firm in the position that all disagreements need to be resolved through democratic political dialogue.
He told his interlocutors that we are ready to continue the dialogue with Pristina and are open to reaching a compromise agreement that will be mutually acceptable.
Selakovic reminded that Belgrade has fulfilled almost all obligations from the dialogue, while Pristina, even almost nine years after reaching the Brussels agreement, has not fulfilled its main part, which is the formation of the Community of Serbian Municipalities.
The Minister expressed his gratitude to his interlocutors for their personal engagement in that process, but also warned of the danger of Pristina's constant efforts to make dialogue meaningless and destabilise the region with unilateral moves.
He especially referred to the issue of organising the upcoming elections in Serbia on the territory of Kosovo-Metohija, emphasising the importance of the priority solution of that issue.
