President attends signing of climate change agreement
The agreement "is a vital step to ending global warming, the process that has already assumed frightening proportions. By signing the Paris Agreement we are defining the future of the planet, demonstrating responsibility and readiness to take the necessary steps," Nikolic said in his speech."Let's be honest, if for no other reason, then for our children; let's build self-respect by respecting the planet we harmed so seriously, and the Earth, much cleaner and healthier when given to us to take care of," he said.
"I do believe that the Paris Agreement is one of the vital steps in the development of modern civilization, and yet another incentive to multilateralism and closer international ties," Nikolic said.
"In a bid to lend a helping hand, Serbia is prepared to contribute to a solution, having experienced the devastation of severe flooding twice.
It is a great honor for me to sign the Paris Agreement on behalf of the Republic of Serbia, on the International Mother Earth Day," Nikolic said.
