Dacic: Tensions increase, stability not jeopardised (Tanjug)

BELGRADE - Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic stated that Serbia has shown its best face concerning the visit of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and that tensions have indeed increased but this will not jeopardise the stability, and added that the desired progress in mutual relations has not been achieved.

Dacic noted, however, that the good thing is that talks are conducted and that an agreement has been achieved for Prime Minister Vucic to pay a return visit to Albania and for Rama to visit Serbia once more in December and attend the meetings between the Chinese prime minister and prime ministers of 16 countries in Belgrade.

There is a diplomatic practice for visits between countries that do not nurture the best of relations, and Rama breached it, Dacic told the Belgrade-based Television B92 on Tuesday.

Replying to the questions concerning Rama's visit to Presevo, Dacic qualified some of Rama's statements as senseless, and added that Rama is interfering in something that has nothing to do with him.

Rama should not discuss the position of Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija and compare it to the position of the Albanian national minority in Presevo and southern Serbia, Dacic said.
