We hope Vienna will help ease tensions in region - Dacic

The Serbian foreign minister was in Austria accompanying Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, who also met with Kurz, and with Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern.

Dacic said his country hopes Austria would also "contribute to easing tensions in the region" and that Serbia will play a constructive role and will be a factor of stability in the region.

"By the very fact that we are here in Austria only a day after the new government was elected, Vucic has shown how important the role of both Austria and Minister Sebastian Kurtz is to us, when it comes to regional relations," said Dacic.

Austria is also a very important economic partner of Serbia, Dacic said, adding that trade between the two countries last year reached EUR 800 million, while the goal is to reach one billion.

One of the topics discussed today was the migrant crisis. Dacic said that Serbia will continue to cooperate in this area and will "monitor the European answer to that question."

"We cannot allow Serbia to in some way become the victim of the lack of a united European policy," Dacic said.
