"War of humanitarian statuses": Government must decide on RSHC (Novosti, B92)
The Serbian government will soon discuss the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center (RSHC) and the status of its staff.
"It's really no longer either normal, nor do I understand why they (the US) are opposed to giving immunity to Russian humanitarian workers in the Nis Center," First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has told Vecernje Novosti.
He also announced that this issue will soon be on the government's agenda.
The newspaper said it learned that consultations on this topic, between members of a ministerial team and President Aleksandar Vucic, will be held in the coming days.
The RSHC staff status issue has come into focus once again after Director of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex Fabrice Leggeri said that the agency's liaison officer in Belgrade will enjoy diplomatic immunity.
Dacic confirmed this, and explained that it is common practice - and that this kind of privilege is enjoyed, among others, by representatives of the International Red Cross.
