Calling on all parties to end the conflict, the Minister condemned the unacceptable attacks on peacekeepers and called on UN institutions to react more decisively to threats to their security.
He emphasised that the Serbian Army remains committed to the tasks it is performing in the multinational operation UNIFIL, adding that it will coordinate its further actions and positions with the armed forces of the Kingdom of Spain and the Italian Republic, with whom it is jointly engaged on the ground.
