Continuation of China’s support to Serbia’s territorial integrity

Belgrade/Beijing, 31 July 2023

Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic met today, as part of his official visit to China, with Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of that country Deng Li.

In the meeting, the officials expressed mutual satisfaction with the extraordinary bilateral relations, which are characterised by a comprehensive strategic partnership, which is given a special quality by the friendly relations between the two presidents, Aleksandar Vucic and Xi Jinping.

Petkovic expressed Serbia’s full support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the People's Republic of China, and thanked China for its principled support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia.

He presented the difficult security situation in which the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija find themselves, especially since the coming to power of Albin Kurti, which is characterised by a rapid increase in violence against Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija and the violation of their basic human rights.

Deng Li conveyed assurances to Petkovic that the People’s Republic of China will continue to support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia, with a clear opposition to Pristina’s unilateral moves.

He emphasised that the Chinese side supports finding a solution to the issue of Kosovo and Metohija through peaceful means, on the basis of UN Security Council Resolution 1244, and particularly emphasized the support and insistence of Beijing regarding the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities as soon as possible.
