Serbian president at COP28 meeting: We'll create new strategy to contribute to fight against climate change

President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic is on a one-day visit to the United Arab Emirates, where he is participating in the UN Climate Change Conference meeting - COP28 organized in Dubai.

After the opening ceremony, Vucic addressed the participants and on that occasion first congratulated those gathered in this difficult moment, critical for the world.

"Today I stand before you, not only as a representative of Serbia, but also as a man who is afraid of global warming. Our country is on the front line when it comes to this, because the temperatures in Serbia have already risen by one degree," Vucic said.

According to him, this year we had the warmest July, September and November ever recorded.

"We must react to climate change immediately and continue the fight against it," said Vucic and added that we must react quickly to this existential threat.

As he says, Serbia will create a new strategy to contribute to the fight against climate change, not only in Serbia but also around the world.

Vucic will also have a series of bilateral meetings with officials from several countries, on the sidelines of this gathering.

The president said that we must ask ourselves how we are going to solve this, but are not solving those geopolitical issues that are ongoing in the world. How can we be sure of good results in the fight against climate change, yet we cannot solve the issue of wars?

"We have to act according to the rules of the UN, which were adopted according to the stances of the majority of the member-countries from around the world," said Vucic.
