FM praises outgoing EU foreign policy chief
Addressing reporters in the seat of the European External Action Service in Brussels, Dačić said that he can make such a statement because he witnessed all major crises in the region during the 24 years of his career in politics.He expressed gratitude to Ashton for helping Serbia launch the EU accession negotiations this year and the patience she demonstrated during the lengthy sessions on the normalization of relations with Priština.
Dačić announced that the meeting of ministers of foreign affairs and finance ministers from Western Balkan countries will take place in Belgrade on Thursday as was originally planned, despite the tensions which arose after the recent incidents at the football match between Serbia and Albania.
The dialogue has now become a normal, although perhaps not historic, matter, Dačić said.
He underscored that Serbia is committed to its EU path which he qualified as lengthy and irreversible, and added that the country will implement all the points it agreed to take on by signing the Brussels agreement.
On behalf of the Serbian government and President Tomislav Nikolićc, Dačić presented Ashton with a copy of the icon of the Holy Lady Theotokos - a protectress of the Serbian people.
Ashon acknowledged the statesmanlike courage Dačić demonstrated during the dialogue and his persistence on the European path.
Ashon will end her mandate as the high EU representative for foreign affairs and security policy in November and the office will be taken over by former Italian minister of foreign affairs Federica Mogherini.
