Serbia reaffirms support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity - Prime Minister

That’s according to Prime Minister Milos Vucevic, Reuters writes.

“Serbia is committed to respecting international law and the territorial integrity of United Nations member states, including Ukraine (...) We are open to friendly discussions on all issues and at all levels,” Vucevic said in a statement.

At the same time, he stopped short of committing to align with international sanctions against Russia.

"Serbia is committed to observing international law and the territorial integrity of UN members, including Ukraine <...>. We are open to friendly discussions of all issues at all levels," said Vucevic.

It should be recalled that after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Serbia agreed to accept displaced Ukrainians, send humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and promise help in post-war reconstruction. Belgrade has not recognized Russia's illegal occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Minister for Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba is in Belgrade as part of Serbia visit by First Lady Olena Zelenska.

Kuleba discussed with his Serbian counterpart Marko Djuric ways of developing bilateral cooperation and integration of both countries into the EU.
