Serbia's FM: Moscow will support every solution in Belgrade's interest

Dacic's statement comes ahead of the Thursday's visit to Serbia by his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, and after the announcement of the Belgrade and Pristina delegations meeting at the White House on June 27, six days after Serbia's general elections due on June 21.

The meeting is seen as the US attempt to solve the issue quickly, but raise some eyebrows in Brussels, which officially has the leading role in facilitating the Belgrade - Pristina dialogue on the normalisation of relations that has been on hold since November 2018.

Serbia's leaders have said they accept the US role but won't mind Russia's involvement as well.

Referring to that accelerated international diplomacy to resume the dialogue on the dialogue, Dacic told the Belgrade Prva TV, that "there is a high tide of initiatives for different meetings."

"At the same time, there is a low tide of ideas. In other words – will those meetings be just for the sake of them or will they revive the dialogue from clinical death? We'll see," Dacic said, adding he did not believe that "we are close to a solution at all."

"We have offered some proposals, but they were mostly rejected," he said.

Dacic added that those who organised the dialogue "have to be aware that Serbia won't accept the recognition of Kosovo (as an independent state) as a must and – we end the dialogue."

"It's about accepting the talks based on some compromises, but someone should suggest them. We haven't heard them so far," the Minister said.
