Serbia continues to make full contribution to strengthening OSCE

Belgrade/Skopje, 30 November 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic stated today that the security situation in Kosovo and Metohija is a cause for deep concern and assessed that only a strong international presence can guarantee security for all citizens in the province.

Dacic said at the OSCE Ministerial Council in Skopje that Serbia will continue to be a constructive partner and to provide full contribution to the strengthening of that organisation.

We highly appreciate the contribution of the OSCE Mission to the Republic of Serbia to our reform process, which has lasted for more than two decades, and the exceptional cooperation, which has been based on partnership relations from the beginning.

He also highlighted the cooperation with the OSCE Mission in Kosovo and Metohija, based on the status-neutral international presence in the province, with a mandate based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244.

Unfortunately, the position of Serbs in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija is more difficult than ever before. They face increasingly serious forms of institutional and religious discrimination, threatened security and economic uncertainty, Dacic said.

According to him, the security situation in the province is a cause for deep concern, and he believes that only a strong international presence that respects international legal documents can guarantee security for all citizens in the province.

Despite Pristina's persistent refusal to fulfil its long-term obligations, Belgrade remains committed to the dialogue process, which is conducted under the auspices of the European Union and expects that all agreements agreed so far will be implemented without further delay, Dacic underlined.
