Cyprus supports Serbia's EU integration (Tanjug)

CACAK - The Republic of Cyprus supports Serbia's EU integration, Cypriot Ambassador to Serbia Nafsika Krousti said in Cacak on Monday. Cyprus believes Serbia will become a member of the EU and supports and admires the perseverance of the Serbian government and Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic in pursuing that goal, she told reporters. Cyprus is one of five countries within the EU that have not recognised Kosovo's independence, and that view will not change, she stressed. Krousti met with Cacak Mayor Vojislav Ilic and other city officials to discuss investments from her country into the area.
