Serbia as "ideal mediator in EU-Russia reconciliation"

Serbia, as the OSCE chair, is an ideal intermediary between the EU and Russia and a chance for their reconciliation, President Tomislav Nikolic has said.

"We hold the OSCE presidency. If they really want to reconcile, Serbia is the ideal chairman. After us, there will not be a country that wants to join the EU and has good relations with Russia," Nikolic said as he took questions during a news conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Belgrade.
