“We hail any opportunity to hear your opinion about the developments in the regions, to coordinate our further steps on matters of concern for us and in the interests of stability in the Balkans and development of the countries of the region in conformity with the will of their peoples,” Lavrov said.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said in New York late on Tuesday that the world is in a dangerous and complicated situation today.
