Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica spoke today with Foreign Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk on the future status of Kosovo-Metohija as well as on bilateral cooperation of the two countries.
Kostunica told Yatsenyuk that Serbia highly appreciates the principled position of Ukraine related to the settlement of the Kosovo-Metohija status, which is complementary to the Serbian Constitution especially in the field that refers to the need of finding a compromise solution in negotiations that would be acceptable to both sides and based on the respect of crucial principles of international law and the UN Charter.
