Stability, good neighbourly relations crucial for region’s development

Belgrade/Thessaloniki, 10 June 2022

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic stated today that contemporary geopolitical events confirm the importance of improving regional cooperation and conducting a responsible regional policy, which, above all, means resolving all open issues through dialogue.

Addressing the participants in a ministerial meeting of the South-East European Cooperation Process, which is being held in Thessaloniki, Selakovic stated that the development of the region is not possible without preserving stability and improving good neighbourly relations, to which Serbia is fully committed.

He assessed that the enlargement policy is one of the most important instruments of the European Union, not only for ensuring the stability of the region and its further economic prosperity, but also for the stability and security of the entire EU.

As he pointed out, full membership in the EU is one of Serbia's foreign policy priorities, and we believe that the place of the entire region is in the Union, because without its inclusion, the European political and economic space will not be complete.

Referring to the situation in Ukraine, Selakovic said that Serbia is fully committed to respecting the principles of territorial integrity and political independence of states, as one of the basic principles of international law.

According to him, Serbia is in principle committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes and in that sense supports all efforts aimed at negotiations.

We are also ready to provide all kinds of humanitarian aid to the endangered population and to participate in the reconstruction of cities in Ukraine, said the Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
