The Serbian Foreign Minister also briefed his counterpart in detail on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, highlighting the imperative of resuming the EU-facilitated dialogue between Belgrade and Priština, which has long been stalled due to the unilateral actions of Albin Kurti.

Turning to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Đurić reiterated Serbia’s firm support for the Dayton Agreement and the territorial integrity of its neighbor. He stressed that solutions to internal challenges in Bosnia and Herzegovina must be sought through inclusive dialogue involving all relevant and democratically elected political representatives, while respecting the constitutional competences of the Republic of Srpska.
