Dacic receives French special Western Balkans envoy

BELGRADE, April 11 (Tanjug) - Serbian FM Ivica Dacic received French special Western Balkans envoy Rene Troccaz on Thursday.

The parties noted the exceptional significance of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's recent successful visit to Paris and discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron, Senate President Gerard Larcher and representatives of French companies interested in investing in Serbia.

Dacic and Troccaz also discussed separately the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and current regional affairs in the multilateral arena, the Serbian MFA said in a statement.

They agreed that overall bilateral relations between Serbia and France had reached a very high level and that activities towards strengthening further the strategic partnership between the two countries must be continued.

Troccaz also held a separate meeting with the head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic, who informed him of a series of unilateral and unreasonable moves by Pristina that have made life for Serbs in the province impossible and unsustainable.

Petkovic noted that Pristina was refusing to meet its 11-year-old commitment to establish a Community of Serb Municipalities, while Belgrade had met all its commitments from the dialogue, the Office for Kosovo-Metohija said in a statement.
