Outgoing socialist prime minister of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, responded to questions at a press conference by saying that Russia had no involvement in the process of forming a new government in Belgrade. Mr. Dacic also said that a Serbian position on the current situation in Ukraine and Crimea would be based on Serbia’s interests.
“The new government that will form certainly will give its official stance on all of this, and it will be based on two points. The first is that Serbia has a traditional friendship with Russia and nothing can disturb this, and on the other hand, Serbia is going on the European path and this is very important for our country. The stance must be very balanced and in our interest,” said Dacic.
