President Vucic expressed his sincere regret over the situation in Ukraine and informed Ambassador Tolkach about the positions of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and of the Council for National Security. He stressed that Serbia is committed to respecting the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty of states, as one of the basic principles of international law contained in the United Nations Charter, and that in that sense it respects the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

He stressed that Serbia is also exposed to unprincipled positions held by a part of the world when it comes to the unilaterally declared independence of so-called Kosovo, and thanked Ukraine for respecting the territorial integrity of Serbia.

President Vucic pointed out that Serbia has provided the best possible conditions for civilians, refugees from Ukraine, giving them residence and work permits, in accordance with the rules of the European Union, even at a higher level. President Vucic announced that he would soon visit Ukrainian refugees in our country together with Ambassador Tolkach.

Ambassador Tolkach thanked for the humanitarian aid that Serbia provides to endangered Ukrainian civilians, as well as for the financial aid. President Vucic announced that Serbia will participate in the reconstruction of cities in Ukraine.

President Vucic emphasized that Serbia and Ukraine have opportunities to develop cooperation in various spheres of mutual interest, and stressed the need to continue working on strengthening economic relations, as soon as the situation allows.

The president reiterated that Serbia, in accordance with its consistent policy, remains committed to peaceful settlement of disputes, and in that sense supports all efforts aimed at negotiations.
