Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic spoke with US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson on Thursday in Vienna.
According to a Serbian MFA statement carried by Beta, Dacic told Tillerson that representatives of the old US establishment who defend their policy from the 1990s cannot be the ones to bring changes to the US foreign policy.
“I drew his attention to the fact that changes in US politics should be brought only by the president, the vice-president and the minister of foreign affairs, since representatives of the old establishment cannot do this, because they are defending their policy from the 1990s,” Dacic told the US official during their short conversation on the sidelines of the OSCE Ministerial Council.
Dacic also stressed stressed the need to make “certain strategic agreements” and said Serbia was “ready to openly speak with the new US administration,” the statement said.
Dacic reiterated that Serbia’s position was to find common interest with the United States.
He assessed that it was necessary to have more frequent communication “to see how to find a winning combination where common interests will be found, in order to permanently solve some of the problems that exist in the region, such as Kosovo and Metohija.”
“The conversation with Tillerson opened the door to next year have a bilateral meeting with him” Dacic said, according to the statement.
