Djuric: Serbia remains committed to preservation of peace, stability in region

BELGRADE - Serbian FM Marko Djuric met with the head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, Jan Braathu, on Thursday.

Djuric noted that Serbia remained committed to preservation of peace and stability in the region and wanted to strengthen its partnerships and friendly relations with countries around the world in the coming period.

He said the situation in Kosovo-Metohija was one of the biggest challenges to Serbia and noted that there was no progress on normalisation of relations and that Serbs living in the province faced various forms of pressure, discrimination and provocations on a daily basis.

Djuric said Serbia was grateful for the many years of assistance and support from the OSCE mission in areas that were substantial for the country's further progress, especially in EU integration, the Serbian MFA said in a statement.
