Serbian Parliament Speaker Vladimir Orlic met with a Russian parliament delegation in Belgrade on Wednesday, a press release said.

It said that Orlic told the delegation of the Russian Parliament Federation Council that unilateral steps were being taken against the Serbian people, adding that the authorities in Pristina have been refusing their obligation to form the Community of Serb Municipalities (CSM).

Russian delegation chief Yelena Afanasyeva is quoted as saying that Moscow’s position of Kosovo will not change. “Afanasyeva pointed out the importance of cooperation by regional and international parliamentary organizations and the importance of maintaining constant contacts …. which could contribute to links between Serbia and Russia,” the press release said.
