UN resolutions must be respected, he said and noted that conditions for equal position of all living in Kosovo-Metohija must be provided. Jiaxuan also noted that solution to the status of Serbia’s southern province must be found through a dialogue.
Jiaxuan pointed out the necessity of direct talks between Belgrade and Pristina, repeating China’s position that talks must not be time restricted.
Kostunica thanked Jiaxuan for China’s consistent position about the Kosovo-Metohija status issue, which should be addressed in accordance with standards of international law and based on compromise, with no imposed solutions.
The two officials agreed that cooperation between Serbia and China is developing and should further develop in the forthcoming period.
