Minister Vučević Meets Newly Appointed Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Today, Deputy Prime-minister and Minister of Defence Miloš Vučević met Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Belgrade, Edward Ferguson.
At the beginning of today’s meeting, Minister Vučević welcomed Ambassador Ferguson and expressed his belief that the bilateral relations and defence cooperation between the two countries would continue developing.
The minister of defence expressed deep concern about the current developments in the area of the southern Serbian province and the position of the Serbian people in the north of Kosovo and Metohija. Also, he pointed out that the negotiations on the normalisation of relations would become more complex following the recent escalation of conflicts.
Minister Vučević pointed out that one of the priorities for the Serbian Armed Forces is the cooperation with KFOR, which is why it is important for Serbia that NATO has a neutral status in solving the problems. Minister Vučević stated that Serbia positively views the announced deployment of additional 200 British troops as part of KFOR.
During today’s meeting, Ambassador Ferguson expressed his gratitude to Minister Vučević for the meeting underlying the interest of the British side in further enhancement of defence cooperation with Serbia, as well as the intensification of cooperation in the fields of common interest.
