The meeting was supposed to be held on Tuesday, but Office for Media relations of the President of the Republic of Serbia announced that it was postponed.

Vučić and the Chinese Ambassador discussed the situation in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, and Chen Bo conveyed that the position of the Chinese side on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija is consistent and clear.

Chinese Ambassador said that Beijing feels that “unilateral action is not in the interest of peace and stability in the region”. She added that the international community should treat both sides equally because dual standards are not useful in resolving problems.

"China respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija, understands and supports the legitimate demands of Serbia, including those on the protection of security and legal rights of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija, in the hope that all agreements reached so far will be strictly respected", Ambassador Chen stated the official position of the Chinese side.

I am especially pleased to work with you to comprehensively improve the strategic partnership of our countries. I believe in a bright future of our relations, based on a steel friendship and a strategic partnership as well as unbreakable bonds between our peoples”, Vucic said.
