Speaking at a gathering at Sava Centar, which brought together ambassadors, consuls general and heads of missions to international organisations of the Republic of Serbia, Đurić emphasised that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be the main bearer of Serbia's foreign policy response.
He stated that this ministry must also be the main support for all state institutions in conducting foreign policy, in a time that requires us to be adaptable and ready to embrace new technologies and new socio-political circumstances and to respond to them in the best possible way.
Recalling that the Ambassadors’ Conference is being held in Belgrade after more than a decade, the Minister explained that the aim of this gathering is to jointly review Serbia's foreign policy performance in a time that is more turbulent and challenging than any generation of diplomats in modern Serbian history has faced.
I am convinced that Serbia has great, new horizons of cooperation ahead of it, as well as that with the new administration in the United States, with whom we maintain extraordinary and daily communication, we will manage to make a new contribution to achieving peace and stability in our region, Đurić stated.
He expressed the hope that we will preserve and further strengthen our traditional friendships, as well as that we will not violate our relations with any country in the world, noting that Serbia will always adhere to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter.
