The Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry said “Serbia condemns all forms of terrorism and at the same time advocates the renewal of the peace process, within which the realization of the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people must be guaranteed, in accordance with the applicable norms of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.”

This was said in a Ministry statement from Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic’s meeting with a group of ambassadors of Arab countries to Serbia held on Monday.

“During the talks, great regret and concern were expressed over the continuation of the Israeli-Palestinian armed conflict, which claimed a huge number of human lives, including many children, and brought the residents of the Gaza Strip into a state of humanitarian disaster,” it said.

It was emphasized that the norms of international humanitarian law and the principles of humanity must be respected in war, in order to prevent victims and suffering of the civilian population.
