The situation in the autonomous Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija, as well as the actions of the unrecognized administration in Pristina, became the main
topics of the meeting between Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and Leonid
Slutskiy
Leonid Eduardovich
, Chairman of the Committee of the State Duma on International Affairs.
This was announced on Tuesday by the press office of the cabinet of the President of the Balkan country.
The parties
discussed the “further development of Russian-Serbian cooperation in all spheres.”
Aleksandar Vučić noted the great importance of his recent meeting with Russian
President Vladimir Putin in Beijing and thanked Russia for ‘strong support
and protection of the integrity and independence of Serbia, its state and national
interests.’
The Serbian President informed Leonid Slutskiy about the development of the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, especially about the measures of the Pristina
authorities, which, in addition to the stagnation in the dialogue, caused worsening
of the living conditions of the Serbs in Kosovo. President Aleksandar Vučić said
that the dialogue can be continued only in case Pristina abolishes unreasonable
customs on Serbian goods. At the same time, the Serbian leader noted that
”Serbia will always be oriented towards a policy of peace and stability.“
Leonid
Slutskiy said that ”Moscow is proud of the closest relations between our
two countries“ and intends to ”always support the positions of Serbia, especially on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija.“
