During a joint press conference with the Minister of Health of North Macedonia Venko Filipcet, Loncar said that there was no reason for Serbia not to respect the UN decision, reports Tanjug.

"We have already entered into this matter and we, as a member of the UN, will respect everything. We are working on it and as they imagined it, there is no reason not to apply that while not endangering citizens and our laws," said Loncar.

He added that the decisions in that regard will be made by the greatest experts in our country, and, stating that this is an extremely sensitive topic, he asked everyone not to guess in advance what the decision will be, but to be patient.
