Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says the status of the Russian Humanitarian Center in Nis has not yet been "solved" because "huge pressures are being exerted," Serbian media reported.

According to him, more reasons are that the issue has been politicized, and, "we do not want it to become a subject of political disputes."

Speaking during a break in the Belgrade Security Forum on Thursday, Dacic "stressed that this should be resolved in line with the Vienna Convention."

"I hope this will happen quickly," Dacic said.

The new Russian director of the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center says he has no intention of persuading anyone that the facility is not a military base.

The arrival of Viktor Gulyevich, "a Baikal commander," to Nis, a town in southern Serbia, has stirred spirits when it comes to the Center (RSHC), Sputnik said.

Gulyevich is described as a world-class rescuer and an expert on avalanches, who earned his PhD from the University of Irkutsk and worked for over 20 years in the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.

No decision has as yet been made on diplomatic immunity for the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center (RSHC) in Serbia's southern town of Nis.

Serbian First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said this in Moscow on Friday, and added that Serbia was under huge pressure over the issue but that it would decide in line with its own interests, Tanjug reported.
