Vucic: Challenges require unity, respect of international law

BELGRADE - The global challenges we are facing require unity, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in an address at the online Summit for Democracy on Wednesday.

Vucic is attending the virtual summit at the invitation of US President Joseph Biden.

Vucic also said the Ukraine conflict had brought to the light of day the necessity of universal and unwavering respect of international law and that Serbia would continue to advocate consistent respect of non-selective implementation of those provisions and principles, said a post on the president's buducnostsrbijeav Instagram profile.

"The principles of respect of human rights, rule of law and rule-based international order need to be conveyed and respected by all of us. The absolute necessity of universal and unwavering respect of international law by all has again been brought to the light of day by the current conflict in Ukraine. The Republic of Serbia will continue to advocate consistent respect of non-selective implementation of those provisions and principles," Vucic noted.
