"We'll never join anti-Russia sanctions; EU is priority"

According to Nikolic, EU membership is a foreign policy priority.

"The move taken by the UK, a proponent of the enlargement that is now leaving the Union, needs to be analyzed. Pursuing our own interests, we will continue to organize our country in line with the highest European standards, and let the EU show whether it wants us or not," Nikolic said.

Should Serbia face the condition of having to recognize the independence of the so-called state of Kosovo, or to stop blocking or hindering the quasi-creation's membership in international institutions, it will mean that Serbia is not wanted as a full EU member, Nikolic said.

Serbia is pursuing the correct policy - it is committed to strengthening its relations with Asian, African and South American countries, and it will make particular use of the friendship with Russia and China, Nikolic said.

"We will never impose sanctions on Russia, we are cooperating with it in mutual interest, and after a historic visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping, we have opened a new chapter and restored our relations with friendly China to the highest level historically", the president noted.

An agreement on the status of personnel at the Russian- Serbian Humanitarian Center in Nis is ready and will be implemented by Serbia's new government, Nikolic said.

Military neutrality and commitment to peace and cooperation with all was a guarantee of a stable and secure future, the president said, adding:

"Serbia remains militarily neutral and is using best practices and experiences from the West and from the East. Neutrality means a balanced approach and cooperation, not joining any military alliance."
