The two officials exchanged opinions about the current situation within the OSCE and the possibilities of overcoming the existing challenges through an essential and constructive dialogue.
Dacic reiterated Serbia's readiness to help in reaching a consensus on all issues of importance for the smooth functioning of the Organization, as it has been doing to date.
He welcomed the fact that supporting the work of missions on the ground and strengthening their capacities was recognised among the priorities of the current Maltese presidency.
In this context, Dacic highlighted the very good multi-decade cooperation that Serbia achieves with the OSCE Mission to Serbia, as well as that we greatly appreciate their support in the comprehensive reform process and expertise in programme areas, such as democratisation and the media, the rule of law, strengthening of human and minority rights, promotion of tolerance and non-discrimination and reform of the security sector.
The First Deputy Prime Minister pointed out the necessity of preserving the status-neutral approach of the OSCE regarding Kosovo and Metohija, which must be respected, not only during meetings of the Organization, but also during the work of missions on the ground, and especially during the visits of OSCE officials to Pristina.
Borg highlighted the excellent cooperation that the OSCE Mission to Serbia has achieved with the Serbian government to date, as well as that in the continuation of joint activities, this Mission represents a reliable partner in the further reform process.
