Vucic receives Czech FM

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with Czech FM Jan Lipavsky in Belgrade on Friday, raising concerns over the increasingly difficult position of Serbs in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo-Metohija and requesting support and stepped-up engagement from Prague and other European capitals towards protecting the safety and the rights of Serbs in the province.

In a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram profile, Vucic wrote that he had had a good and open discussion with Lipavsky about current geopolitical and regional developments, Serbia's EU path and strengthening the bilateral relations between Serbia and Czechia.

"I thanked Czechia for supporting Serbia's EU integration and expressed the hope other member states, too, will recognise Serbia's progress and enable us to take new steps with a view to approximation to full membership," Vucic added.
