Pristina must be put under pressure to continue dialogue, Vucevic tells UK ambassador

BELGRADE - Serbian PM Milos Vucevic received UK Ambassador to Belgrade Edward Ferguson on Wednesday.

Vucevic noted that he was concerned over the situation in Kosovo-Metohija and underscored Pristina must be put under pressure to ensure dialogue was continued and the terror against Kosovo-Metohija Serbs stopped.

Vucevic said preservation of regional peace and stability was Serbia's goal and noted that a UN General Assembly resolution on Srebrenica was not contributing to cooperation or building good relations, the Serbian government said in a statement.

Vucevic and Ferguson also discussed comprehensive bilateral cooperation as well as opportunities to strengthen it, and noted that economic cooperation between the two countries had seen dynamic development in the past several years.

Vucevic noted that there was potential to strengthen the partnership in numerous fields, especially in energy and energy transition, as well as in infrastructure projects.

He said strategic investments and finding sustainable solutions for achieving energy stability through green energy were one of the priorities for Serbia, and added that he was confident there was great potential for cooperation with the UK.

Ferguson said the UK was especially interested in cooperation in energy and renewables, and noted that Serbia had excellent projects on which the two sides could cooperate in the future.
