Serbia’s decision to withdraw its embassy staff from Macedonia is in fact “a message to Skopje.”
The message is that Serbia “knows what they laid their heads together for, and what they agreed on,” First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Tuesday.
“That’s something not done among friends,” Dacic said referring to Skopje’s actions, and added that despite this, Serbia was seeking “good relations with all countries in the region, for the sake of peace and stability.”
With that, he told TV Pink, Serbia wants to “calm the newly created situation with Macedonia.” Dacic remarked that “the situation” emerged not on the basis of assumptions, “but on the unequivocally established actions that speak of increased offensive activities towards Serbia.”
Dacic said that “everything that happened in the last days will be discussed with our diplomats, but also with our colleagues in Macedonia.” He announced that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will talk to Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev on the phone tomorrow (Wednesday), while he would speak with his Macedonian counterpart Nikola Dimitrov.
