Serbia supports Greece's request to recover Parthenon sculptures - ambassador

ATHENS - Serbian Ambassador to Greece Dusan Spasojevic said on Wednesday Serbia supported Greece's request to recover Parthenon sculptures from the British Museum.

In a Facebook post, Spasojevic noted that Greece had, and would have, Serbia's open and unequivocal support on this matter in all UN bodies and organisations, including Unesco.

"We believe this is a civilisational issue that must be resolved immediately," Spasojevic wrote in the post.

Greece's AMNA news agency noted that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic had expressed the same stance publicly after a meeting with Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens in December 2019.
