Ambassador Zobel has in many ways brought up the issue of Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as the issue of the inviolability of its internationally recognised borders, reads the Serbian government statement and adds that despite the hospitality he was shown in Serbia, Ambassador Zobel has demonstrated disrespect for the dignity of state institutions in this country.
The Serbian government rightfully awaits an explanation from the German government on whether Ambassador Zobel stated the German government’s official position and points out that in all previous contacts between Serbia and Germany at the highest state level the countries showed and confirmed willingness to maintain satisfactory relations.
We hope to receive a clear explanation from the German government on Ambassador Zobel’s statements as soon as possible, concludes the statement.
