Vucic receives UK special envoy

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met with the UK's special Western Balkans envoy Stuart Peach in Belgrade on Tuesday, and said he expected the UK to show more understanding for the Kosovo-Metohija issue by condemning unilateral moves and violations of the fundamental human rights of Serbs and other non-Albanians.

"I noted that EU membership is a strategic commitment and a foreign policy priority of our country, which shares and advocates European values and wants to contribute to peace, stability and prosperity in Europe," Vucic wrote in a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram account.

Besides touching upon developments in Kosovo-Metohija in particular, Vucic and Peach also discussed geopolitical issues, further advancement of bilateral relations and joint efforts towards stabilisation and strengthening of cooperation in the Western Balkan region.

"During the meeting, I noted that Serbia is firmly committed to strengthening the partnership and cooperation with the UK in all areas of mutual interest," Vucic added.
