Vucic: Serbia's cooperation with OSCE exceptional

BELGRADE - Thanking outgoing OSCE Ambassador Jan Braathu for heading the OSCE Mission to Serbia in a committed and professional manner, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday cooperation between Serbia and the OSCE was exceptional and that Serbia remained committed to promoting peace, stability and security across the region.

"The OSCE Mission has a key role in our comprehensive reform process, especially in support in the areas of security and dialogue, which is key for overcoming challenges and preserving stability," Vucic wrote in a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram account after receiving a farewell visit from Braathu, whom he wished much success in his future work.

Vucic noted that Serbia supported the OSCE's work in Kosovo-Metohija, in line with UNSCR 1244, and believed that "only strong international presence can ensure security to all citizens of Serbia's southern province."
