Dacic thanks Moratinos for friendship, assistance to Serbia

BELGRADE - Serbia's First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic on Saturday thanked former Spanish foreign minister Miguel Angel Moratinos for his friendliness towards Serbia and assistance to the country in its bid to protect national and state interests while continuing on its European path, the Serbian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Moratinos is taking part in a conference on World War I, organised in Belgrade by the Centre for International Relations and Sustainable Development.

Dacic and Moratinos met to discuss current international developments, long-term projects of global significance under the auspices of the UN and ways for Serbia to best fulfil its potentials by participating in such projects, the statement said.

They concluded that, in addition to pursuing its proclaimed political objectives of becoming an EU member state and fostering relations with Moscow, Washington and Beijing, Serbia - which is becoming increasingly established as a reliable partner - should also work on relations with developing countries such as India, as well as Brazil and other Latin American countries, the ministry said in the statement.
