Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has rejected the assessment of US diplomat Brian Hoyt Yee that Serbia was "sitting on two chairs."

Serbia is interested only in its own interests, Dacic said on Thursday.

Dacic told reporters in Belgrade that Serbia will continue to work in accordance with its state and national interests, "regardless of what they are saying, from the sidelines."

According to the foreign minister, who is also Serbia's first deputy prime minister, his country is "not interested in anyone else's chairs, nor does it have two chairs - instead it only has one, and that is Serbia."

Commenting on the US State Department official's statement that Serbia must clearly choose a side - he said this was "nonsense."

"That's nonsense. It's all nonsense. I think that some people, including the State Department representatives, have watched too much War of the Worlds, and science fiction stories," said Dacic.
