The Czech Republic supports Serbia's EU intergation, and the two countries should use any opportunities to improve their economic cooperation, the two officials noted.

Dacic stressed that Serbia was trying to achieve agreements with Pristina in Brussels that would allow the Serb community in Kosovo to stay there and create the conditions needed for a lasting and stable peace in the region.
