In accordance with the norms of international law, Serbia can not accept the results of the referendums in the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, according to Foreign Affairs Minister, Nikola Selakovic.

„That would be completely contrary to our national and state interests, the preservation of sovereignty and territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders,“ Selakovic stressed at the press conference.

When asked about the cooperation plan with Russia signed at the UN, he said that it is a technical matter which has been carried out since 1996. He explained that the plan contains future activities regarding consultations in the UN on the issue of Kosovo, bilateral relations and multilateral activities and that it does not involve security policies.

Selakovic spoke about the recent meetings in New York, saying that President Aleksandar Vucuc discussed politics, as well as energy issues with US officials, including the construction of solar panels, a hydroelectric plant, as well as gas interconnectors to Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
