EU suffered blow; we still want to join - Serbian FM
He also announced that PM Aleksandar Vucic scheduled a meeting of his caretaker cabinet for 10:30 CET today and that "the reaction to the British referendum, that is, preserving the stability in the country" will be on the agenda, among other things.In a statement for Serbia's state broadcaster RTS, Dacic said that the state would "undertake all measures to preserve economic and financial stability as certain disturbances are happening in the world market, in the international financial market, in the wake of the British referendum."
Dacic said he "does not believe the British decision will influence the disappearance of the EU and of the European idea."
"The EU has suffered a significant blow, but it seems to me that Great Britain, too, has suffered a big blow," said he, adding that it is "each nation's autonomous right to decide on their fate, whether somebody likes that decision or not."
Dacic noted that Britain, although it was a part of the EU, "never fully shared all EU mechanisms - it maintained a certain level of distinctiveness and had great reserves toward the EU."
"When it comes to Serbia, we ought to be concerned with our own interests," Dacic stressed.
