FM in Kiev: Serbia will be impartial OSCE chair

Dacic, who is in Ukraine in his capacity of the future chairman of the OSCE, expressed regret over the tragic events in the country and stressed that "Ukraine will be a priority of our work next year."

According to him, ways should be sought to "at any price" stop further violence in Ukraine, and respect the ceasefire "and the peace plan of President Poroshenko."

"We want our presidency to be transparent, impartial, objective and of benefit to the organization," Dacic said and pointed out that he stood for strict observance of the Minsk agreements and protocols.

He expressed his expectation that the Trilateral Contact Group will continue to work quickly to resolve all matters envisaged by the agreement, and these are primarily questions of vital importance for citizens - such as economic and humanitarian issues, and exchange of prisoners.

According to the Serbian minister, the activity of the monitoring mission in the whole of Ukraine but also on border crossings is of great importance.

"Instead of violence and weapons, priority should be given to the political process," said Dacic, and added that Serbia "will not have an easy task in the coming period."

"But this is a major challenge for Serbia and its opportunity to demonstrate it is a serious country that can help in with deescalation of different conflicts," he said.

"I want to tell you - have faith in Serbia as a serious country that will not cheer for anyone, but be faithful to the principles of the OSCE," said Dacic.

He added that Serbia and Ukraine are "friendly countries that want to to have as good as possible bilateral relations and promote economic cooperation."
