Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday that he discussed changes to the country’s foreign policy at a meeting with the government.

The president took part in a meeting of Prime Minister Ana Brnabic’s cabinet in the Palace of Serbia in New Belgrade, a venue where the government does not usually meet.

“There will be deep, fundamental changes to Serbia’s foreign policy,” he said commenting Monday’s vote in the Council of Europe (CoE) Committee of Ministers on Kosovo’s application to join the organization. Vucic said he is grateful to all the countries that voted against the proposal especially Hungary.

“We talked about what we will do and how we will behave at the government meeting,” he added. According to the president, official Belgrade has to show more respect for friendly countries.

“We are talking about a defense and security strategy and we have no coherent foreign policy strategy. We will take care of bilateral policy without stepping out of the framework of reciprocity in foreign policy,” he said, adding that this means a responsible attitude towards the country.

“Why should we protect someone’s territorial integrity if they are opposed to ours,” Vucic said.
