Ambassador Chepurin made these remarks commenting Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic statement that “Albanians would agree to division of Kosovo, and that it is in their interest.”

“We respect the position of Serbia and we would support a solution, which Serbia considers as the best,” Chepurin told Alo and added that “a good solution should be reached in a long process of a dialogue and I see no reasons for haste and swift resolving.”

According to Chepurin, Russia would support every decision of Serbia.
