Brnabic thanked Spain for its principled position of respect of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia.

At the same time, she informed the Spanish FM of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, drawing to his attention the provocations on the ground, attacks and harassment of the Serb population, desecration of cultural heritage, as well as Pristina's failure to meet its commitments from the Brussels Agreement.
