Vucevic receives Russian ambassador to Belgrade

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Milos Vucevic received Russian Ambassador to Belgrade Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko on Wednesday.

Vucevic said preservation of regional stability was a strategic interest of Serbia and that a UNGA resolution on Srebrenica was a sensitive issue that was not contributing to deepening of cooperation and building good-neighborly relations.

Botsan-Kharchenko said Serbia could count on Russia's firm support in preservation of its territorial integrity and sovereignty as well as unequivocal support in the international arena on all issues vital to Serbia, the Serbian government said in a statement.

Vucevic thanked the Russian Federation for its firm position on Serbia's territorial integrity and sovereignty and for its respect of international law.

He noted that Pristina's decision to ban the Serbian dinar in Kosovo-Metohija jeopardised the position of the Serbs in the province and made their life more difficult to a great extent, moving Belgrade and Pristina away from dialogue.
