Στην Πρεσβεία της Δημοκρατίας της Σερβίας πραγματοποιήθηκε χθες δεξίωση με αφορμή την εθνική εορτή της χώρας, την Ημέρα της Κρατικής Υπόστασης. Την δεξίωση τίμησαν με την πολυπληθή παρουσία τους σημαντικοί εκπρόσωποι του πολιτικού, διπλωματικού, πολιτιστικού και επιχειρηματικού κόσμου, καθώς και φίλοι της Σερβίας.

  
Η μεγάλη ανταπόκριση των προσκεκλημένων αποδεικνύει για άλλη μια φορά στους ισχυρούς δεσμούς και την νέα δυναμική που έχει αναπτυχθεί στις σχέσεις μεταξύ Σερβίας και Ελλάδας.  

Οι Έλληνες πολίτες μπορούν να ταξιδεύουν στη Σερβία με το δελτίο ταυτότητας ή το διαβατήριό τους, ενώ δεν χρειάζεται θεώρηση (βίζα). Όσοι επιθυμούν να κινηθούν οδικώς στην Σερβία, αρκεί να φέρουν ελληνική άδεια οδήγησης, ενώ η πράσινη κάρτα του οχήματος, την οποία χορηγεί ο ασφαλιστικός φορέα,  δεν είναι απαραίτητη.

Οι αλλοδαποί οι οποίοι έχουν άδεια διαμονής στην Ελλάδα, δεν χρειάζονται θεώρηση για να ταξιδέψουν στη Σερβία.

Mr. President,
Madam Special Representative,
Ladies and gentleman,

It gives me honor to address this distinguished body once again and to discuss the latest report of the Secretary-General on the work of the UNMIK.

I would like to thank the Secretary-General and the Special Representative for submitting the report. We take note of the efforts that Ms. Ziadeh makes in performing this very responsible duty, especially bearing in mind the necessity of a comprehensive overview and the complexity of the situation on the ground.

I also take this opportunity to underline that the Republic of Serbia highly values the activities of UNMIK in Kosovo and Metohija, established under UN Security Council Resolution 1244. We advocate for its continued operation in an unchanged and undiminished scope and capacity, especially bearing in mind that the Mission has not yet achieved the main goal of its mandate - a peaceful and normal life for all citizens of our southern province.

Today, in Marrakesh, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Nikola Selaković participated in the Ministerial Meeting of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. Minister Selaković said that Serbia was committed to the multilateral aspect of the fight against terrorism, adding that he firmly believed the United Nations should be the key forum for international cooperation in this field.

Minister Selaković stated that Serbia was fulfilling all international obligations pertaining to the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions, especially those related to the introduction of arms embargoes, including bans aimed at non-state actors, terrorist organisations and related individuals. He emphasised that Serbia was a signatory to 15 international conventions against terrorism. “By participating in multinational UN and EU peacekeeping missions, Serbia is making a concrete contribution to preserving regional and global security,” Minister Selaković said, paying tribute to a member of the Serbian Army, Lieutenant Colonel Dejan Stanojević and his colleagues, who tragically lost their lives on March 29 in the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“Serbia does not diminish the importance of other international forums, which is why it joined the Global Coalition from the very beginning, and selflessly contributes to international efforts to fight ISIS, primarily through various forms of donations in military equipment, ammunition, and training in Iraqi security forces”, Minister Selaković said. He added that as a candidate country for membership in the European Union, Serbia gave its full contribution through active participation in European policies on the fight against terrorism, and had developed a strategic cooperation with EUROPOL.

Minister Selaković noted that Serbian criminal legislation provided instruments to prevent and punish the encouragement, organisation, and participation of its citizens in wars or conflicts in foreign countries. He explained that the Serbian judicial authorities had completed proceedings against 7 persons engaged in foreign battlefields, and that several investigations against persons connected with terrorist activities were underway.

Minister Selaković said that the fight against terrorism, radicalism and extremism was a priority, and that Serbia was actively involved in combating these challenges and threats at the domestic, regional, and international level.
